Chapter 20: The Tin Knight and The Lions Bloodline (3)
That night.
The girl went to see her mother.
“...”
The sleeping face of the lady of the domain, lying peacefully in bed, looked incredibly serene.
The girl believed that perhaps her mother was dreaming.
A dream where neither the girl’s father, nor brother had died, and the entire family was smiling together in happiness.
Perhaps the reason for her mother’s continued slumber was the fear of leaving behind happiness, only to return to cruel reality.
The girl understood her mother
If she were in her mother’s position, she, too, would be reluctant to wake up.
Even if it meant the girl would be left alone in reality, it was better than seeing her mother crying and suffering.
One hour, two hours, three hours.
