Hearing that Leon forgave her made the woman's heart feel touched.
She had treated Leon badly, hurt him, and left him helpless at the hands of her friends.
But what Leon said now shattered her pride completely. She felt even more guilty and ashamed of what she had done.
If Leon had beaten her up, maybe she could have accepted it as even.
Leon earned respect for his wisdom, while the woman was left with a deep sense of shame she might never erase.
Yet deep in her heart, she felt grateful that Leon didn't choose revenge.
Ethan walked up to Leon, smiling as he patted his shoulder. Leon truly had a gentle and wise heart, and Ethan had known that for a long time.
Seeing Leon forgive the woman was exactly what Ethan had imagined.
He looked ahead, noticing the woman's face turning red with embarrassment.
"Good job, Leon," said Ethan.
He pulled out two level-2 HP potions and handed them to Leon.
