Willow Finch finally stepped out from behind Silas Linden, her head held high, just as she always had.
She stood before the Celestial Emperor, unabashed and disrespectful. "I understand what you're saying, Celestial Emperor. For all these years, I have thought about what happened back then. And just as you said, you will not apologize. Neither will I.
I don't believe my actions back then were impulsive. If it were to happen all over again, I might do something even more uncontrollable.
I am Amelia's older sister. She is the only family I have in this world. If even I cannot protect her, who else could I possibly count on?
Likewise, you stand in the position of the Celestial Emperor. I understand your decision to sacrifice one person for the sake of the Three Realms, but I cannot approve of it."
She wasn't incapable of understanding what had happened back then, but if it happened again, she would still do the same thing.
