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 is not too much trouble, my lady, 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 in terms of his theological inquiries and in the fact that in the end he attained eternal life not physical, but spiritual, in the form of literary works. Nevertheless, had I dared to undertake a northern expedition, I would most likely have tried 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 a great and warm love of humans. To her, we are rather like wild cattle.
After a brief pause, the young woman continued answering the knight's questions:
— As for 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 achieve his desired goal, he leaves the stage while still quite young and in the prime of his strength, 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 an entirely different person. However, I dare not make bold claims. It is merely an unsupported theory that came to mind.
- Thank you, my lady. This information deserves to be added to your work.
— I would be most grateful, — Stefania bowed, thereby giving her blessing to the idea proposed by the Knight of Serene Bliss. — A little later I shall return with my thoughts on the second topic of the contest.
