Caitlyn's POV
Since the last encounter, the king seemed to have genuinely dispelled his suspicions about Talon and never summoned him alone again. The two-month deadline, once spoken by Kaisa, became an unspoken topic of conversation for everyone.
"Well, what does Talon think about it?" Leona approached with a curious expression just as I returned to the room.
"Talon is still choosing to remain silent about me. I just can't figure out if he just thought all this time I wasn't qualified to fight alongside him." I recalled Talon's serious expression from the previous night, feeling a bit sad inside.
"Maybe what he said is true; he has his own hardships, and this is now the way for him to protect you." Perhaps, being a werewolf as well, it was easier for Leona to understand the responsibility that Talon carried.
