Eisha watched Raven for a few seconds more, and Northern could tell what was on her face, she held so much guilt and hid them deep within her gaze.
As if she was the sinner. But she wasn't, however Eisha didn't know how to separate herself from the one she loved. Shin was her husband after all.
And his father too.
There was nothing for certain until Shin spoke, but Raven was a bastard and certainly wasn't the Patriarch's bastard.
"Don't worry… we'll overcome it… together."
Eisha turned to Northern and held his gaze a warm smile before she looked at the battlefield. The smile faded, though it didn't disappear entirely. It changed into something more complex, something that held both grief for the fallen and fierce pride for what this small nation had accomplished.
"You did something incredible here, La'el."
