Golden hair, blue eyes, a sword strapped to her waist.
She had her signature fierce look on her face, yet it felt slightly warmer than last time.
She stopped in front of him, looking Rael up and down before nodding.
"I apologize for the wait. I had to introduce myself to Celestara's royal knights," Evelyn said plainly, and fell silent.
"Okay? Nice to see you again," Rael said with a tilt of his head.
Soon, a look of understanding appeared on his face. "Oh... I understand the formalities, but for future reference, you don't need to come out and personally greet me."
With that, he prepared to leave. However, Evelyn suddenly grabbed his sleeve with her trembling hands.
He turned toward her, meeting her conflicted gaze.
And of course, she soon spoke.
"That offer of yours... is it still valid?" Evelyn asked in a low tone.
"The offer where I'll grant you a wish if you were to join me? Sure, why not," Rael replied with a smirk. "I'm all ears, Evelyn."
