hello hello just wanted to ask a little question
in the last chap when ferid and rigr were talking about a goal/purpose in life (i can't remember clearly .-.) rigr says that he wants to save someone.
it confused me a little and i can't really figure out what or who he meant so what do you think?
Hello! Sorry if I took a lot of time to answer @kamisamabest 😅
Okay, Rigr's line may be tricky, so we do have two possibilities in there.
Sika Madu/Shikama Doji
This one is the one with the highest possibility, but for that, let's look at their former selves which are the angels.
Back when they had identities as angels, Rigr Stafford aka Saito, was known as Paimon. Nowdays we have his reincarnation:
Paimon's whole reason to live was serving the King, who was Sika Madu, he loved him deeply (not romantic wise but literally the whole sense of loyalty to the end, appreciation.)
Thus, taking that as a base, we can pinpoint that the one Rigr wanted to save was actually Sika Madu in the time they were abandoned by him. (Aka, the time the vampire council was left on its own)
And this connects with certain chapter:
Rigr's final goal is to save all worlds, to do what Shikama Doji wanted to do.
Meaning that even despite the betrayals, battles, differences, Rigr always followed and was loyal to Sika Madu to the end.
Urd Geales
While this may be something that many might consider, Rigr and Urd's relationship is a bit complicated. And this too goes with how it was back with their ancestors, or previous lives as angels.
Bael cherished Sika Madu but he never sought nor had a deep rooted appreciation for him. Rather, the one to motivae him was always Paimon, but once Paimon died, Bael chose to watch from the sides ultimately taking a harsh decision.
Therefore, even in their current lifetimes as Urd and Rigr, Urd wishes and longes for Rigr to walk the correct side and not walk on the same path the First did, you could say Urd views more the present than a distant dream as something more viable.
Even in chapter 105, the only thing Urd hoped, was for Rigr to be with him and protrect the vampire society they had.
Ultimately, Urd was left on its own.
Therefore, this is rather the less probable answer for the question at hand.
I hope I was able to help you out 🤗
