Qiong Xing understood that Narka was not at fault.
However—
"…To be honest, I was disappointed in Rohen. I even considered keeping my distance from all of you."
"..."
For now, setting everything else aside, Qiong Xing honestly told Narka what he had felt back then.
"But… after speaking with him properly, it seems he came to his own conclusion. So I decided not to do that. I would be happy if we could continue getting along."
At those words, Narka visibly relaxed and Qiong Xing gave a wry smile.
Qiong Xing did not know how they viewed him, but he did not think there was much benefit in being on good terms with him.
"However, I am not that generous, so please do not expect there to be a next time."
This time he had forgiven them.
But there would not be a second chance.
He warned them of that clearly and Narka nodded with a serious expression.
Above all, Qiong Xing prioritized his family.
