Lin Qiye watched Idunn for a long time, then let out a long sigh.
He finally understood where Bragi's problem lay... Idunn had given Bragi the heart that belonged to the Goddess of Youth, but under the effects of the mist, she had inadvertently merged her own soul into Bragi's body as well, resulting in their current state of one body with two souls.
