Stalkers

Haru's quiet footsteps halted when the man she was stalking also stopped. She instinctively hid inside the tapestry booth nearby and motioned her team to also hide their eye-catching asses in it.

She poked a hole on the paper window and peeked through it. Her amber pupils dilated when she saw the suspicious man looked behind him before his feet went into a dark alley and approached a bulky man.

"P-Pier?" she breathed out as she covered her mouth in disbelief.

She was feeling awkward to speak with Pier after the ceremony as she knew that he was expecting to be chosen as her personal knight. After all, that was her initial plan, too. But Adis instructed her to choose other champions except Pier during the ceremony. And just like an obedient lover, she blindly followed his order without any question.
