The Secret That Could Not Be Told
"You should become my hero instead."
Natalia's smile twitched.
Ruby smiled back.
Neither smile looked particularly friendly.
Videl immediately felt a headache coming.
"Why does everything come back to that?"
"Because recruitment never ends."
Natalia answered shamelessly.
Ruby nodded seriously.
"Never."
Brinda burst out laughing.
Even Eon couldn't hide a small smile.
The conversation continued for quite some time.
No matter how many different questions Videl asked, both holy maidens skillfully avoided revealing anything important regarding the fate of Anos's son.
Eventually, even she realized she wasn't getting any answers.
Still...
The story continued lingering in her mind.
A mighty emperor.
A son.
A betrayal.
A forgotten ending.
Something about it felt strangely incomplete.
As though a missing piece existed somewhere just beyond reach.
