Niviya clenched her hands beneath her sleeves.
She didn't dare complain anymore.
What could she even complain about?
Aksai had already given them more than enough.
The problem had never been that the island had failed them.
It was that she had failed to make proper use of what she had been given.
Aksai, however, didn't know what either of them was thinking.
He merely looked at the mother and daughter standing before him.
After a moment, his expression softened.
"Sister Nimiya, it's been a while. I hope you are doing well."
He smiled as he addressed her.
Nimiya immediately bowed slightly.
"Thanks to your care, Lord Aksai, I've been doing well."
Aksai nodded.
His smile remained for another moment before his expression turned serious.
"You already know the current state of the island's affairs by now."
Nimiya's expression became solemn.
Aksai continued.
"Although I wouldn't recommend staying, each person has their own choice to make after weighing the pros and cons."
