Before leaving the capital, Yuvan went to the palace to bid farewell to Ruth.

Her eyes were brimming with tears as she spoke, “If you truly care for me, you’ll petition His Majesty to allow me to go to Valken with you. At least then we wouldn’t have to endure this separation, never knowing when we might see each other again.”

Yuvan knelt before her, his voice choked with emotion as he replied, “Mom, I don’t want to leave you either. But Valken is nothing like the palace. Your body wouldn’t be able to bear the long and exhausting journey.”

Ruth dabbed at her tears. “There was a time when your sister could stay in the palace and look after me.

If you won’t petition His Majesty, then I’ll do it myself. He’s kind hearted. I’m sure he’ll allow us to stay together.”

“Mom, we’ll be reunited soon, I promise. Just give me a little time.”

Ruth reached for his hand, her frail fingers like brittle branches yet gripping him tightly.
