    Nathaniel was gone, leaving the world with a smile on his face.


    It seemed like he departed without any regrets.


    Sheena felt her whole body go weak, closing her eyes, unable to bear witness to his tragic fall. The


    memories of their childhood, theughter, and joy shed before her eyes, intensifying the


    overwhelming grief.


    She had, with her own hands, shot the man who had loved her for a decade.


    “Eli, take me away. I don’t want to be in Laubabwe anymore,” she said as she weakly copsed into


    Elliot’s arms, her voice choked with emotion.


    Elliot kissed her forehead tenderly,forting her softly, “It’s all over. He got what he wanted, and you


    gave him what he needed. It’s the best ending he could hope for.”


    How could he not understand that Nathaniel had nned it this way?


    Nathaniel was stubborn and proud, and losing Sheena meant losing everything for him. With nothing


    left to cling to, he would much rather die.

    bring it back to Froania, back to the Nicholls family.


    Once everything was settled, Elliot carried Sheena away from Florence Cathedral without looking

    On the return journey aboard the private ne, Lionel had already awakened, and Lucy, whom he had


    brought along, personally tended to his injuries.


    Clear was secured in a cooler box, intended for further examination of itsposition upon returning to


    Froania.


    Sheena had shed the heavy wedding gown and now donned a warm fur coat, but she was still wearing


    the t shoes Nathaniel had personally chosen for her.


    She appearednguid, and her eyescked luster, staring at the vast expanse of white clouds outside


    the ne.


    Elliot held her, understanding that she had not recovered from the church’s


    events.


    Lionel and Lucy sat with them in the first–ss cabin.


    In contrast to the quiet Elliot and Sheena, the two of them seemed livelier.


    “Lionel, all those soldiers called you Captain. You’re so amazing!” Lucy eximed, right in front of Elliot


    and Sheena, making Lionel blush.


    “On this ne, the most formidable person is Ms. Sheena, followed by Mr. Jenkins, and I don’t even


    “Is that so?”


    Lucy turned to Sheena, shing a sweet and friendly smile, then asked Lionel, By the way, Lionel, you

    However, Lionel was different. He did not have a real name. Elliot from the border when he was ten.


    “Well, this name actually…”


    Before he could finish, Elliot interrupted him and answered Lucy’s question, “Hisst name is Jenkins.”


    Lionel abruptly turned his head, looking at Elliot in a daze, stunned.


    “Mr. Jenkins?”


    Elliot gave a slight smile, his tone steady as he exined, “I n to officially list you in the family


    records and register you under my father’s name as an adopted son. In the future, you won’t just be my


    subordinate but also my brother, Lionel Jenkins.”


    Lionel’s eyes reddened, tears swirling in his eyes.


    He was shocked and moved by the gesture.


    “Mr. Jenkins, you’re really nice to me…”


    If Sheena were not currently resting in Elliot’s arms, he would have wanted to rush over and give Elliot


    a big hug.
