[ He laughs, bitterly and incredulously, at that question. ]
If I thought they were the one who'd done it, I'd be fighting on your side instead.
[ If the Regent had been the one to obliterate his world—his beloved—he would be doing all he could to tear them to shreds. Good thing he's decided that's impossible!
He turns to keep facing her, but attention on driving his sword towards her diminishes his ability to dodge her arrows. It wouldn't matter if his healing ability was what it once was—but he needs to stop lamenting that. It is what it is; and what it is right now is this woman's arrows drawing blood he can't do away with as soon as it happens.
It will be worth it, he thinks, if he is able to injure one of her legs, so that's what he aims for, swinging the sword through the air aggressively at horse ankle height. If he can't injure her like that at least he can try to throw her off balance avoiding Xin Mo. ]
