Earlier, when she spoke about what she lived for.
I was concerned about why she chose to live as a dark knight, so I decided to ask her.
Cornelia: "... You wish to know my past... Even if I told you, there's nothing interesting about it."
Even so, I want to know about her. I responded. Cornelia let out an incredulous sigh, and opened her mouth.
Cornelia: "I, my family was killed by monsters. I, who couldn't do anything, was miserable and frustrated."
Cornelia: "I resolved to lay down my life as a person. I wanted to become strong at all costs."
—She was someone at one time. She softly whispered towards the end, and stared at me.
Cornelia: "This power is a demon's power. However, even so, I will protect this country, and you, Prince."
I heard her declare as she vowed to me, and to herself.
I am depending on those words. I responded, and Cornelia smiled at me happily.
