Summary
“Without her, the Garden will perish, but without him, she will perish.”
Hearing those words from Aub Ehrenfest, the Zent decides that the boy in question should be kept within reach instead of being allowed to go to his father. If the Goddess of Time truly needs Quinta alive, then there should be no issue with the Zent taking him in.
Though, of course, a mere Seed must never be allowed to come into power. So Quinta, soon Ferdinand, learns that his thread is already tied and is taught that his role, the purpose of his whole existence, is to protect his Goddess of Light at all costs for the sake of Yurgenschmidt.
He studies, he trains, and he searches.
But when he eventually finds her, he is met with caution, hesitance and rejection.This Devouring girl wants nothing to do with that random noble who just appears and swears to protect her. She knows that everything has a price, and she fears what kind he is going to demand.
