'Be Careful'

After the, rather awkward, encounter with Lucius, Florian managed to get himself back to his senses and ask him to help prepare whatever he needed to go to the village.

Lucius raised an eyebrow at him. "You request to go to the village without any sort of plan? What were you planning to do with that boy's sister? Take her to the palace? Or just inform her her brother's dead?" He was making a joke.

"You... You're right. I don't even know if she knows her brother's dead." Florian said, almost dropping the satchel that Lucius had given him to bring.

Lucius' brows furrowed. "That means... you will actually be the one informing her of her brother's passing."

'Fuck, fuck, fuck!' Florian thought. 'I just wanted to help her! I don't want to be the one who breaks her heart! And I'm... I'm the reason why her brother died!'
