Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche. The princess and ruler of Lucifenia. She committed genocide against Elphegort. A genocide known as the Green Hunting. Born from her own anger at the man she was to wed breaking off their engagement because he fell in love with a particular Elphe woman, she sought to raze the country to the ground. And she would have, had she not murdered Mikaela. ...Yatski was wiped out. Burned with its people.
[ She is still calm, speaking to his retreating back. ]
...Supposedly, she was killed in the Lucifenian Revolution that followed. ...But I know she didn't. My memory last night... I almost killed her, as she was sobbing on the beach. As she begged me to do it. But I couldn't, Ardyn. I couldn't kill the girl--and she was a girl, fourteen at the time of the Green Hunting--who murdered so many because the she was spurned by the man she loved.
[ She will stand. Just as calm as before. ]
...I don't have any hatred left in me, Ardyn. Or anger. There's nothing you could do to change that I would forgive you. Just like I forgave Riliane, despite the fact she murdered Mikaela. Despite the thousands of lives lost and the destruction she brought to a country that did nothing to her. She tore apart so many lives... And I still forgave her and I am going to take her under my wing.
