Still Feeling Guilty

 "You're being rude to me - your King, Mary! Just obey my orders and return home right this instant!"

Louis was taking none of her advice and started to order Talia around, to return. He was also complaining how Esteria is unsafe for her and no one cares for her safety there.

Talia walked to the door of Vivian's room and opened the door to take a look at Vivian, still holding her phone in her ear although she was not listening to a single word Louis was speaking.

Seeing Vivian lying on the bed with a bandage on her head and IV drips connected to her hand, a pang of guilt hit her heart.

If she wasn't with me, will she be here like this now? Why is that when bad people target me, every time others are more affected than me – the target? Cyrus, Mr. Ed, Vivian... Why is there such list?

I know this is not my fault and I might be suffering from what they call 'the survivors guilt', but still why does my heart feel heavy?
