After that, Aubrey said to Cẩm Đan:
everything stops here already! Cẩm Đan, the rest just leave it to me!.
When Aubrey said that, suddenly her state returned to normal. She immediately looked forward, and saw that right now, Serena was injured and lying motionless, while she herself was swinging her sword toward Serena but was blocked by Aubrey. That made her very surprised and confused because she didn't know what was happening before her eyes anymore.
huh? What is happening here?
While Cẩm Đan was still dazed, not knowing what was going on, suddenly, Aubrey slowly and heavily walked toward Serena. That made Serena very scared, not knowing what Aubrey was about to do to her, so she panicked and screamed:
hey! What are you going to do? Don't come here, or else I will kill you!
No matter how much she shouted and threatened him, he still boldly walked over to her. That made Serena very worried, and after he reached her side, he immediately slowly sat down next to where she was lying and gently, tenderly asked her:
can you try to endure this pain! For a moment, so I can heal you!.
Hearing him say that made her and Cẩm Đan standing there could not help but be surprised and widen their eyes because of this strange thing, so she hesitated and started asking him:
wha,... What? You,... You said what,...?
Aubrey: I asked if you could endure for a while! So I can heal you?
Serena: are you serious? Why are you caring about me like this?
Aubrey: what strange thing are you saying, Serena? Was there ever a time when I didn't care about you?
you should remember! No matter what happens, I always love you! So even if you did something wrong, I would never blame you!
Serena: nonsense! If you loved me, then back then, you wouldn't have abandoned me!
Aubrey: haizzz! Now even if I explain in any way! You still won't believe me, but Serena! Please think carefully again,...
even at that time! Even if I wanted to choose you, I still could not, Serena! Because for a person, with the responsibility of ruling this island like me!
I could never be selfish, just thinking for myself!
and moreover! From that day until now, there hasn't been a moment when I didn't torment myself! Because I was,... Too cowardly and weak to protect my daughter!
to Aubrey, you are my whole world. Serena!
At this moment, after hearing Aubrey say that, Serena then started to feel a bit relieved, and also lingering a little sadness on her face. Along with that was regret from the bottom of her heart, because she had wrongly blamed Aubrey for so many years. Thinking about that made Serena's eyes well up with tears, and she chokingly said to him:
I understand now! Thank you for your kindness. But the thing is, my strength has already run out and seems to be completely gone! Moreover, my wound is quite severe, so perhaps I cannot live anymore!,....
please take care of yourself and live a happy life! Goodbye,...!
After saying those last words, her body began to dissolve and turn into tiny black dust particles, then vanished away with the breeze gently passing through this place.
When Cẩm Đan witnessed this scene, she also felt regret and sadness for Aubrey and his daughter. But perhaps, the one who grieved the most at this moment, was none other than Aubrey. Having to witness his only beloved daughter leave made his heart heavier and more broken than ever. At this moment, he turned and said to Cẩm Đan:
Cẩm Đan! Thank you and your friends, for helping me protect this island!
but the thing is, please on my behalf! Deliver this gratitude to your friends for me!
Cẩm Đan: why must I pass on your gratitude to my friends?
can't you, Aubrey, say it directly to them?
Aubrey: I can't, Cẩm Đan! I also really want to say thank you to them!
but because circumstances don't allow it! So I can't say it directly to your friends!
so I hope you can understand for me!
because if Serena has already died like this! Then living in this world, what meaning is there for me anymore!
and I hope that,....! Before I die, you will help me fulfill! These last words I am about to say,...!
tell Fergal! To take my place, becoming the ruler of this island, to continue protecting it!
As soon as he finished saying that, Aubrey did not hesitate to use his own hands to cast magic, and used that magic power to strike back at himself. So that he could leave peacefully, together with his beloved daughter.
After witnessing everything, Cẩm Đan immediately flew back to D Nation, to her friends. There, she saw them waiting for her with joyful faces. That warmed her heart greatly. After that, she told Fergal about what Aubrey had asked her to tell him.
And after hearing those things, Fergal agreed and seemed very sad because Aubrey had sacrificed himself. Not only that, but everyone there, after hearing it, also felt very sad, not just him alone.
After that, they left for another place. But before leaving, they did not forget to bow to Somchai's group to thank them. Seeing that, Katharina, Cẩm Đan, Annette, and Riccardo, together with Somchai at that moment, also waved their hands and said goodbye back to them.
