Agatha had left.
“I always felt… she has changed a lot compared to before,” Fenna finally broke the silence when the last trace of Grey Wind had vanished into the air, “especially the words she said last—not at all like what the former ‘Guardian’ would have said.”
“Experiences change a person, especially everything she has been through,” Duncan said indifferently, “And on the other hand, the role she now bears is no longer just ‘Guardian’, which was bound to bring change.”
Fenna was a bit curious, “You don’t seem worried?”
“Because she has not wavered—those who have come to a realization tend to be more steadfast,” Duncan mentioned casually, “She is rational and not yet desperate enough to take a paranoid or wrong path due to the pressures of survival in the City-State, her last few words might not be as devout, but at least they were sober.”
Fenna didn’t respond for a moment, and Duncan turned his head, looking meaningfully at the young Judge, “What you’re actually worried about isn’t Agatha, is it?”
“… My faith does not allow me to lie,” after a brief silence, Fenna finally sighed softly, “Yes, I am worried about my own state. In Agatha, I see a reflection of myself—my faith wavering, my words and actions heretical.”
Duncan remained silent, just waiting quietly for the other to continue.
“… I once thought that keeping steadfast faith and an unyielding spirit was enough to confront all problems head-on—the gods determined the order in which the world operates, we were like gears, peacefully operating within the framework. But the reality is… the order is as fragile as sea foam, mere faith and spirit can’t save our City-State, and our longstanding understanding of the world is being challenged…
“‘The sun’ is not eternal; the ‘boiling gold’ that supports modern civilization’s development might be a relic of the ancient gods; the gods do not always protect the City-State, beneath the deep sea is darkness not described or explained by any religious scripture—the appearance of you has even overturned my understanding of Subspace over the past two decades.”
