Days later, Elesis stood at the edge of the battlefield where Alaric was laid to rest. She had chosen a spot overlooking the plains he had once called home, a place where the sun painted the land in golden light.

As she placed his sword on the grave, her voice broke the silence. "You were more than a knight, Alaric. You were my strength, my heart… and my greatest loss."

From that day forward, Elesis fought not just for the empire but for the memory of the man who had taught her to feel again. She carried his spirit with her into every battle, his courage a reminder of what she had lost—and what she still fought to protect.

Though her legend as the "Empire’s Sword" grew, those who knew her closely saw the sorrow that never left her crimson eyes. Elesis became a beacon of hope for the empire, but in her heart, she remained a woman mourning the man who had given everything for her.

And as the years passed, the story of a humble farmer who had loved a knight became a tale whispered across the empire—a love that burned brightly, even in the face of loss.
