Chapter 75: Awakening?
Edward and Seraphina watched silently as Tyson took his leave, his steps dragging and shoulders hunched. They didn’t dare to stop him. They knew he was in pain, but there was nothing they could do.
He needed time—time to process everything, to regulate his emotions, and to think clearly. What they had told him wasn’t simple; it was life-altering and would change his entire life and the people around him. Yet, no matter how much they wanted to, neither could make this decision for him.
"Dad... do you think we did the right thing by telling him?" Seraphina murmured, her eyes still tracking Tyson as he walked away.
"I don’t know... and I’m not even sure what will happen next." His gaze darkened. "I wish Edmund was here. That bastard would’ve figured out a way through all of this."
Seraphina smiled with sadness. She understood what he meant.
If her father were alive, he would have rescued them—Nancy, Elria, everyone. That’s just what he did. He had a knack for uncovering light amid the darkest storms.
However, now that responsibility was hers.
She wasn’t as brilliant as her father, nor was she a master strategist. She carried the burden of Elria, holding a title she wasn’t sure she truly deserved.
"But this choice, Sera... it has to be his." Edward leaned back in his chair, watching her closely. "Only Tyson can make this decision. Not you, not me—no one else in this world."
Seraphina stayed silent.
She knew he was right. Tyson was about to make the biggest decision of his life, and even she, as the President of Elria, couldn’t do something like that.
