Chapter 145: Fleeting Happiness
Esmeralda watched over her descendants’ fleeting lives and continued to give them the blessings of the forest and protected them.
The Safirans were her kin and her only memento of her husband, after all. She cannot leave them behind even if it meant having to watch her own descendants die before her.
Esmeralda was currently three thousand years old. She got married when she was two thousand years old and only briefly lived with her beloved Safiro in the short span of a human’s life. It was a fleeting happiness to someone long-lived.
Arabella realized that marriages between the long-lived races and humans were a bit too sad.
One would remain longing for the other and continue to relive their memories together after they were long gone. It was something too painful and lonely.
It was what would happen to Ferdinand once she dies due to old age? He would watch over their children and their descendants as well for a long long time?
Even if Ferdinand had a way to prolong Arabella’s life, it was hard to believe she would be able to live as long as he does.
He couldn’t possibly revive her again and again since it was something that could only be done once to nigh impossible.
{I see. I knew you would make that choice.} Alwin sighed as Esmeralda gave a bittersweet smile. It was clear in her eyes she still loved and treasured her deceased husband.
