"For Father, it would be nothing different than the Battle of Heirs, a Battle where I lost,

And he wouldn't pursue the matter for the sake of the loser."

Rune spoke.

And seeing her calmness as she talked about her own death, Nux was taken aback.

"A-Aren't you a little too calm about this?"

He questioned.

"How do you want me to react?"

Rune tilted her head in confusion.

"I mean… I don't know… be angry, or nervous or maybe be scared

Just… just don't act all calm like this.

It is creeping me out, I mean, we are talking about an assassination bounty placed on your head. You can die."

Nux voiced out his thoughts.

"Anger, Nervousness, or Fear only takes away your ability to think, it doesn't do you any good.

People often fear death, but honestly, death isn't as scary as it looks.

And ironically, once you understand this fact, you tend to avoid death even more.

The worse here that can happen is I die.

That is it. What's the big deal? What's next?

Who knows? I might reincarnate and live a better life than my current one. Or maybe I am allowed to have endless rest. The possibilities are endless, but since we don't know what comes after death, fearing it is pointless."
