With friends like him [1/2]

Most novels, manga or movies have what you call dramatic climaxes. These moments, which are few and far between, were emotionally charged. It would be when the main character would have a triumph over a problem, or when the main couple would finally declare their love for each other.

 Somehow the current situation felt similar to those events. 

Lilly turned to me after she had stripped herself of everything that made her so special in Hellsgate. She threw away her title. Her bloodline. And her authority. All to follow me. 

Originally, I wanted to help her find a way to leave her post. After all, someone as loving as Lilly should not have to do the dirty work of the Battlefront. 

Little did I know that she would do it herself. The American I loved the most finally opened her mouth and spoke anxiously.
