To Where I Belonged 02

Fione looked at her Lady in silence. The clock ticked through the room, enhanced as there was nothing that could be heard other than Cailina flipping through the pages of documents.

Despite being young, her Lady was handed the burdens of an adult. She buried herself with it as if they were books that she used to read. 

It must be exhausting to do many things without rest. If she was to be in Cailina's place, she would have collapsed. The Lady was truly admirable.

She had been standing in front of Cailina while the latter worked the usual. Mustering up the courage, Fione said that she would follow her to the Temple.

"You do not need to accompany me during my time there," Cailina said.

With just one glance, she knew that Fione was here to change her decision of going alone.

Her maid gave her a look of pleading. Obviously not wanting to be separated from Cailina, Fione would beg until she was permitted to accompany her Lady.
