"Anon... I-... I forgive you," she stated at last, allowing your body to relax, a tension easing out that you swear took with it a few years of your life. "You're a different creature than us. Your boundless love tells us how much you can give. Expecting you to confine yourself, especially when I had treated you as less than you ever deserved in the first place. Clearly you saw in Apocrita something that I was not giving to you. I couldn't blame you for having fallen in love with Apocrita first, because I'm the one that put you in this position. I even assigned her to be your personal guard in the first place, and so I cannot blame you for what is my own fault," she stated, her jaw still tense, but the rest of her body relaxing.
