Loki replies, “..for the thing that one wants, it is a
necessity to sacrifice.” Swing his sword at Loki again, Caesar shouts, “You..
you plan to sacrifice her feelings!!!” Loki jumps up and gives Caesar a kick on
the face. Caesar falls down. As Caesar sits up, Loki says, “-that pain, I’ll
just leave it up to you to heal it.” Caesar looks somewhat surprised. He looks
flustered and mutters, “You..” Caesar thinks,
“I’m always jealous of you who just protects her by yourself, no matter what
happens, no matter what is sacrificed... but--..” Loki slightly walks away. He
smiles and asks if it is Nakaba who’s next. Flustered Nakaba takes out her
knife. She trembles as she faces calm Loki. Since he coldly looks at her,
Nakaba charges at him and shouts. She recalls the times she shared with Loki.
She ends up dropping the knife. Nakaba kept on crying and she kneels down. She
sobs that it is impossible, she cannot do it. She thinks that it is because of
him that she is able to live up to now. “Everything, is for this moment? No, it
isn’t so. But, when? When did it start? Always until where? No. No, Loki. My
heart will die.” Loki turns around and says, “-Then, I’ll take over Senan.
*heads out the door* ..goodbye, Princess Nakaba.” Nakaba keeps on crying.
Caesar shouts for Loki to wait and don’t go. “..Do not go!! (I’ll be healing
this pain?) ..I beg of you..! (Don’t) Don’t go! (How is that possible.) Loki!!
*stretches out hand* (This pain, I cannot heal it!!) *starts to cry.* (You’re
really cruel.)” Loki turns around and gives them a sad smile look. As the
couple cry, Loki goes out of the room. ‘Goodbye’. Blurb: “Loki left.
Afterwards--”
Comment: There is
some sense in Loki’s reasoning that Ajins cannot live equally together with
humans after being maltreated for years. Humans might not easily want to treat
Ajin-s as equals and I’m not too sure if Ajins would continue on being
submissive. For the Ajin-s, even if equal, they would still be ruled by human
leaders. It could be possible in the long term but it takes a longer time
compared to immediate segregation. There would be fewer skirmishes between the
races and there would be immediate ‘peace’ if they live separately. From the
looks of things, Loki is leaving Nakaba in Caesar’s hand. So, he probably
doesn’t want to just stand there and watch them go lovey-dovey in front of him.
It does make one wonder when Loki thought of this. Was it from the start or
after Nakaba fell in love with Caesar? Nakaba seems to be very confused on what
to feel here. Part of it I guess is more on Loki’s ‘rejection’ of her idea, and
for him to ‘not to do her whims’. For that, it seems like a betrayal for ‘turning
back against what she and Ceasar wanted to do’. It does seem that all three did
some sort of ‘betrayal’ to achieve their own goals. Nakaba betrayed Adele to
get Senan. Caesar betrayed his family to get Belquat. And, Loki betrayed both
to get Senan. That is indeed how things are in ‘politics’. Nevertheless, it was
kind of clever of Loki to wait out and kind of help the two in achieving their
goals. Then, when the couple becomes the head of their respective countries, he
makes his demand..fully knowing that they are no match for him and there will
be less violence compared to doing it himself since the couple are technically
heirs of their countries. I’m not sure if Nakaba knows that Loki is leaving
permanently[?] but Caesar seems to know given what he told him and how he asked
Loki to not go. It is amusing that it is Caesar who has to verbally tell Loki not
to go. ^^; It is his pleas that made Loki soften his expression. ^^;; Scans
