Having familiarized himself with the work of the Knight of the Wind, the Knight of Serene Bliss allowed himself to ask Stefania a couple of questions.
- Pray tell me, if it would not burden you, milady, how would you have acted in the place of Renavan the Pious on the day of his meeting with the mistress of the north, and how do you view the final act of his life?
— Not at all, — Stefania smiled. — I am very fond of the person of Renovan the Pious, primarily with regard to his theological inquiries, and of the fact that in the end he found eternal life not physical, but spiritual, in the form of literary works. Nevertheless, if I were to dare a northern expedition, I would most likely try to count not on the secret of eternal beauty and youth, but on some mutually beneficial cooperation for Tezoth. However, I doubt that I would have managed to achieve greater results than the wise ruler of the past. After all, Elvielfiria is not known for great and warm love for humans. To her, we are more like wild cattle.
After a brief pause, the young woman continued answering the knight's questions:
— Regarding the end of Renovan the Pious's path... If one perceives it as a double suicide, there is something romantic about it. Feeling that he would never manage to achieve his desired goal, he leaves the stage while still quite young and in the prime of his life, in the embrace of his mistress. On the other hand, I remind you that after plunging into the river, no one ever saw him again. What evidence is there that his life ended precisely at that moment? What if it was the very weight of ruling the country that was the burden preventing Renovan the Pious from living a better life? If one looks at the situation from that angle, it is quite possible that he not only survived back then, but may be wandering this world to this very day in the guise of a completely different person. However, I dare not make bold claims. This is merely an unsupported theory that came to mind.
