Chapter 333: Fiora on the Attack

Leon wanted to comfort Fiora with a few words, but she pushed him away before he could speak.

"I don't need your comfort." Fiora blinked; no tears fell. "I'm not that fragile."

"Sorry for making a scene." Fiora turned her back to Leon.

"There's nothing funny about it," Leon said, staring at her back. Until now, he'd never realized how much Fiora supported him. "If anything, it's quite impressive."

Fiora snorted softly.

"It might be a bit late to say this, but you could use it for the future. I was thinking..." Leon rubbed his forehead, facing the sea breeze. "Next time something like that happens, you can say you didn't want to do it either, that you were coerced by the Red Dragon. Honestly, I wouldn't mind. That way, it wouldn't have to lead to this kind of mess."
