Finding the angel and the demoness is no trouble, they sit near a garden of displayed Everblues in a quiet corner of the temple away from prying eyes. Both of them are leaning against a wooden rail, Elina is the only one to see your arrival, Sieglinde eyes are too downcast to notice you.
''Hey, not too much pain? Not hiding anything?''
''Nope, maybe the Everblues are already having an effect, or Hao deep sleep gives me relief. Hungry?''
''Not yet, it always takes me an hour or two to have the pangs after waking up.'' Elina rosy-red wings twitch, Sieglinde thick tail does the same despite being firmly planted on the ground.
With firm resolve, you endure the searing hotness spreading into your arm when your hand land on the demoness's head.
''H-hey...Stop that.'' Her first instinct was to slap your hand away, but she has too big a heart to do that.
''I saw your dream.'' It's a little difficult to keep your voice calm because of the pain, but you manage. ''It's okay if you don't want to speak about it Siggy.''
''Saw it too.'' Elina reveals what you've been suspecting. ''Shouldn't be happening cause of Arawn being our nexus, but it did. Badass mom.''
''Pfeh.'' Despite self-derision, a fleeting smile grace Sieglinde features for a precious second. ''She became a tyrant.''
''True, but I don't care. When a king says no it means no, why shouldn't it be the same with the Demon Lord?'' Elina makes herself more comfortable by leaning on the rail.
''The bond you two share is beautiful.'' Your honest opinion causes a sudden shake of Sieglinde shoulders. ''...she's not dead, I'll dedicate my time and effort to reunite you.'' Holding onto the railing provides an unpleasant sensation, the pain dispels any lingering sleep, helps you concentrate.
''Second.'' Elina deadpan support almost make you laugh.
''Mom communed with Mother Earth during our long sleep, the sealing was their agreement.'' Sieglinde red gaze is firmly planted at a point on the ground despite the beautiful flowers behind her. ''The Demon Lord -and- humanity goddess are sealed because of me.''
''Let's not pretend it's not true.'' She senses the protest coming from you and Elina. ''I kept my disease to myself for years until it grew worse enough for some paltry hypnosis to make me go out of control.''
''I don't think Daiyu saw it like that.'' Elina says gently. ''Neither Mother Earth, I won't pretend to know what it is that made them agree... I wanna believe it was an act of love. A mother for her child, a bystander who could help.'' Elina is clumsy but she means well.
