The Altar and Livia's Escape

After rejoining the Knight Order, I followed them towards the mountain's summit.

Turns out, they hadn't actually destroyed the Altar yet.

They were simply able to quickly drive off Lemegeton because the Branch Leader had left her post. They had sent me reinforcements because they thought I might be struggling.

As a result, Livia had already escaped, and I was left waiting, my upper garment completely burned away.

It felt like they arrived too quickly, no matter how long I thought I'd been fighting.

*If only they'd come a little later...*

Because of that, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Even though she had changed in an unfamiliar way, I wanted to talk to that girl, Livia, a little more. Honestly, it feels like the Knights are rarely helpful.

Chaerin then asked if I perhaps knew that person, Livia.

As I walked quietly, Chaerin, who was beside me, asked. It seemed she had noticed some connection when Livia first reacted so strongly. There was no reason to hide it anyway.

Well... it's not like I've lived in the Forest my whole life...
