Alex walked briskly down the corridor, his boots clicking softly against the marble floor. The grandeur of the castle—its towering walls and intricate chandeliers—barely registered in his mind as he focused on the conversation unfolding within him.
Sophie's voice chimed in his head, sharp and tinged with concern.
[Are you sure about that?]
Alex's brow furrowed, though his lips curled into a faint smirk. 'About what?' he replied silently, his tone light despite the weight of the discussion.
[About telling her so many things. You know that Anos might read her memories, right?]
Alex's steps slowed slightly as he passed an ornate window overlooking the castle gardens still filled with guests and vendors alike. The sky was darkening, but the light mana bulbs kept the area alive.
