In the end, Primrose and Edmund left the room, while Leofric stayed on Lorelle's balcony. He wasn't exactly welcome there, but he forced himself to stay anyway.
"I think that's the most complicated relationship I've ever heard of," Primrose said once Edmund closed the door.
Both of them stood in the corridor, staring blankly at the wall ahead. Part of them were still processing what they had just heard, while another part couldn't help but compare Leofric's love life with their own.
"At least … I only died once, right?" Primrose joked with a small laugh. "It's not that bad."
"It's still bad!" Edmund immediately snapped back. His tone was serious. "Death is still death, no matter how many times it happens. Once is already bad enough. Don't ever say something like that again. I don't like it."
