— He didn't want to become a ruler and had a free spirit, a love for adventure. — Gungnir took another sip from his glass. — He traveled with the woman he loved, and as long as she was happy and his wanderlust was satisfied, he didn't care about anything else in life. And then, you could say, because of us, his beloved left this world, and he himself was drawn into the whirlwind of war and political intrigues, which turned his whole life upside down, and now, essentially, he's become a vegetable — he doesn't react to the world around him, no matter what you do. I also sent Father Eyr, my old comrade, to the Artery with my own hands. — He pours and drinks again. — But, as you can see, I'm still alive and well, life goes on, and they have nothing to look forward to. I am sometimes tormented by remorse for many of my past actions, but I understand that if time could be turned back, I would do exactly the same thing each time, because regardless of the outcome, there was nothing in my motivation that I could be ashamed of before myself or the Goddess. So, you too, don't focus on the result, but on your actions and their causes.
Well, yes, King Albert...
Following the baron's advice, Vegi took a sip. Not bad at all.
— "Golden Griffins," right? Well, yes, it's a well-known and rather sad story. I think none of them would have acted differently at the time, including King Albert. Unless... they had decided to seek adventure in other places and countries, but even then... probably not.
The girl remembered the scene of Vivian's resurrection, which they had staged quite recently.
"By the power of heroes and the call of good // The soul will now return to life!"
Yes, Rogdan did a great thing when he saved the priestess's life. And although this caused a lot of grief to his friends, and in general served as the beginning of rather painful political processes, there was no doubt that the idealist would repeat his feat if time could be turned back. Of course, there was a difference. Now Gulveig understood that the most correct thing for her to do was to trust her teacher and let him calmly get married, without Gulveig's presence, even though the circumstances were very alarming and the prospects were uncertain. At worst, she should have trusted him at the wedding itself, when Virgil was not just tolerating pain and abuse from the king's evil grandson, but because he knew very well what would happen if he helped him even a little. And yet, the girl's heart told her something completely different, even now clenching at all these images.
Of course, the last picture was, unfortunately, the worst. She had something to regret, or something to change in her past.
— Yes, it would be good to know the consequences of your actions in advance. Hmm. And if you had the power, for example, to heal what is usually unhealable. Or even more than that, to change something in people radically, so that they live better and old wounds do not bother them. To change something in the world so that it becomes a little brighter, even with the consent of others who will be affected. To correct what torments you, or someone else's mistakes... Would you use it?
