Chapter 412 – River Kingdom
Rose looked at how her daughter was getting closer and closer to her mother each day.
Knowing her mother, Rose was surprised to see her indulging Valentine with her time.
The Empress barely passed time with her when she was a child, after all.
Embarrassingly, that made her both happy and jealous at the same time.
'But it no longer matters.' Rose thought, her eyes lifeless yet sad. 'Only my daughter makes me stay in this world. I don't want to abandon you after what I did. But…'
She paused, afraid of continuing her train of thought. Still, she did.
'If my mother fully accepts you… then maybe… just maybe I can go and leave you in her hands.'
That was all she wanted.
She no longer cared about this empire. In fact, she never did. But now it was worse.
The only things that were making her support the burden her mother was putting on her shoulders were her daughter and Asael.
Mainly Asael.
