Echoes Within the Soul
Victor could hear the pride in Hudson's voice.
Not arrogance...
But the confidence of a father who deeply believed in his daughter.
"As for whether you should visit her..."
Hudson spoke gently.
"That decision belongs to you."
"I won't influence it."
Victor silently nodded.
Interesting...
One speaks like an old rival.
The other...
Like a father who simply wishes to see his daughter again.
The voices gradually fell silent.
The meeting hall returned to complete stillness.
Ruby and Natalia patiently waited for Victor's response.
Although only a few moments had passed...
To them, it felt much longer.
Finally...
Victor lifted his head.
A faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
His golden eyes settled on the two Holy Maidens.
"All right."
"I will visit both of your temples..."
"...but only after I've finished everything I need to do here."
The moment those words left his mouth...
Ruby's emerald eyes sparkled.
