Despite having no concern for their relationship, the encounters among the trio leave Dalha conflicted. Two things trouble her mind each time they cross paths.

Love is All That Matters

I gently pulled away from Sir Cace. But as I managed to free myself from his embrace, it felt like my knees turned to jelly. I didn't expect his quick movements. 


"Be careful..." he whispered softly as he held me by the waist. 


I sucked in a breath, unsure of what to do. His words caught me off guard. What did he mean by that? 


"I-I'll be going home now, Sir," I stuttered, quickly moving away from Sir Cace. I wanted to go home and lock myself in my room. I felt uncomfortable with Sir Cace's actions, especially as my heart was starting to beat abnormally again. 


"I don't want to! I'm okay on my own! I can manage to go home by myself!" I couldn't help but raise my voice at Sir. I just didn't understand why he was acting this way towards me. 


"You're not okay! Is it wrong for me to escort you home?" I closed my eyes tightly. I stopped walking and faced Sir Cace.
