===Part 6===

Even Fleurelisia had heard the legend of the Forward in the distant Academy Towers who had mercilessly shot a certain boy to death.

The victim had been Teleria’s stepbrother, which also made him Fleurelisia’s stepson.

She had always had a habit of taking in anything she saw and refusing to throw any of it out. That was why she had stayed on Laguntreat for so long. But that did not mean she felt no attachment for the many things she had gathered.

She had wanted to see what kind of person that Forward was.

If he had done it because of the boy’s relationship to Fleurelisia, she had considered tearing him away from Teleria and giving him a watery grave.

But.

“I called him a lovely boy and I meant it.”

The turret was blown away.

A life was saved.

That boy lived in a world above the division between human and demon. If he could overcome that with so little hesitation, she knew he would never have pulled the trigger for fame or fortune or due to bias or discrimination.

He must have had a much deeper reason.

Something even deeper than the sea.

“You dodged a bullet there, Teleria. If he had visited the island without you, I might have claimed him for myself.”
