Maristella looked at Roxanna with mixed emotions. Deep down, she still believed Roxanna should have stayed in the Aquillian Kingdom with Azul—her husband—instead of returning to the Vixeria Settlement.
Even so, her son had already made it clear that Roxanna had no obligation to remain in the Aquillian Kingdom. After all, he had no intention of staying there for long either.
"Your daughter will be safe here," Maristella said at last.
She still carried a great deal of guilt for everything she had done to her children, and the last thing she wanted was to cause more pain by forcing Roxanna to stay.
"I will make sure she can breathe on her own after this," Maristella added.
Roxanna gave her a grateful smile. "Thank you." Then she turned to Azul once more. "See you again, Azul."
Azul took her hand and gently kissed her lips before finally taking Azura from her arms. "See you again, Roxanna."
