"Qasima wants you to be in the blindfold. I can agree for everything, but I will never agree to send you alone with a blindfold. I can't even bear seeing a single scratch on your body. You know this well, Alora."

Magnus expressed his concerns with a frustrated tone. He felt Qasima was too cunning and too dangerous when it would come to fulfilling her own ambitions.

"She can't do that. You are aware of this," Alora said.

"No. I am not aware of this. What I know is that you won't go alone," Magnus said.

"Didn't you tell me I'm strong enough to bring any person on his knees? Magnus, why can't you trust me this time? Forget everyone, but trust me at least," she pleaded, her eyes searched for an understanding in his.

Magnus turned silent and told her he didn't wish to talk anymore about it.

"Huh? Why?"

"I'm going outside," Magnus said and left the chamber without giving a second glance at her.
