The rest of the day passed quietly.
For the first time since returning to the Phoenix Empire, Kiara had been given enough space to sit down and think about what came next. The rewards she had received from the system had opened several new possibilities. There were things she needed to prepare for, things she needed to investigate, and plans that had to be rewritten now that she had accepted the reality of her situation.
She had lost her husband, whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
She had lost her disciple who earnestly followed her after giving up his past ambitions.
But she could not spend the rest of her days grieving over what had already been taken from her.
She had already made her decision.
She would continue forward.
She would continue to plan on destroying the people responsible for her miserable 20 years of her life — only then, she perhaps could live with herself.
