Lynn never considered himself a sentimental person.
Rescuing the civilians of Glostit was merely a whim at the time.
But now he realized how wrong he was.
In just over thirty days of his abyssal journey, he unknowingly fell in love with the golden-haired girl who always stumbled and protected him.
Fell in love with the faint cedar scent on her body.
Fell in love with the shyness that occasionally showed beneath her cold exterior.
And her surprisingly contrasting demeanor.
Because of this, he ultimately chose to face divine punishment alone.
If not for love, how could he make such a decision for the woman who was supposed to belong to Xiya?
The ironic thing is, no matter how he gently rejected Hillena's advances before, it was only when she lay on the brink of death that he understood his own feelings.
"I am truly a damned bastard."
