At the borders of the Ultras' capital, Caelid, the Imperial forces had gathered, and the battle was now closer than ever before.
But on one of those long nights of preparation ..
amid the tightening siege surrounding the Ultras ..
something entirely different took place.
That night witnessed Sansa Valerion's direct confession to Frey Starlight.
For the first time ever, she told him clearly—
"I love you."
For some reason, those simple words carried a weight Frey never expected—
a weight that struck deeper than he could have imagined.
Away from the rest of the army, holding her in his arms,
she still looked the same: her white hair, her black dress,
but her face… her face now resembled the human Sansa—the blonde-haired version she once was.
Frey had known for a long time about the feelings she harbored for him.
The Affection System was proof enough.
Sansa was the only one who had ever reached 100 points.
But words ..spoken aloud carried a truth far beyond any number.
