The sound of crying was too tragic, even Iluna couldn't help but glance at him, remembering that she was just a few hours away from her eighteenth birthday. Her parents had died long ago due to an attack from the Blood of Mercury, and she hadn't returned since leaving her hometown then.
Thinking about her past parents and relatives at this moment, she originally wouldn't miss them too much, but after hearing that old man's lament, she couldn't help but feel her eyes redden:
"I'm turning eighteen too."
Feeling Shard holding her hand, although knowing she couldn't yet relax, she still couldn't help but ask:
"Is growing up really hard?"
"When you can't find anyone older than you to complain to, that's when life is at its hardest."
Shard said, and Iluna tried hard to control her tears, watching alongside Shard the Edwards Family before them, nineteen people excluding the Diviner and the three-generation Firstborn.
