Chapter 309: Changes?
“I said, Aunt Isera, there's no need for such formalities,” Ansu insisted, helping her up.
This former Holy Maiden of the tribe had been incredibly emotional when she first met the “fake” Chosen One, clearly holding a profound reverence for the Chosen of the Holy Light.
Mother and daughter were truly alike in this regard...
“Lord Ansu, I am truly sorry...” Isera’s voice was filled with self-reproach. “We were unable to distinguish that he was a fake Chosen One, and we even allowed that clone of the enemy high priest to infiltrate us and gain everyone's trust. We were made fools of for so long!”
If it hadn't been for the real Chosen One, Ansu, and his ability to adapt... to turn the tide, the consequences would have been truly unthinkable.
“It is nothing,” Ansu said, gently shaking his head. “Leo himself was unaware, and he was willing to sacrifice himself to defeat Gulzan. He performed a great service.”
Ansu looked toward the highest peak of the snow mountains and slowly spoke of the promise he had made before Leo vanished.
Hearing this, Isera nodded solemnly.
“Since Leo is a hero who sacrificed himself for the greater good, rest assured. We will plant his sword upon the northern snow mountain and regularly maintain his grave. We will never reveal the truth, allowing him to be honored by the world as a hero.”
