Chapter39-Seraphine’s Inner Struggle

Seraphine voiced the question that had weighed on her heart the most —

a question she had buried deep within her.

"Was it because you knew I was from House Roland?"

Her expression grew complicated, her emotions a swirling storm.

After all, Link was the first person — aside from her family's elders — who had willingly risked his life to protect her.

"What's House Roland?"

Link frowned, and immediately responded with a serious expression:

"Don't misunderstand."

"My saving you had absolutely nothing to do with your family background."

"I chose to help you simply because you're my classmate. You happened to be standing there, and I didn't hesitate."

"If it had been anyone else in your place, I would've done the same."

After saying this, Link secretly let out a sigh of relief.

He couldn't let her think he had feelings for her —

That would be far too troublesome.
