The night felt heavier than usual, as the thought of everything kept roaming in my mind. I can't deny I was finally catching up. I couldn’t shake the feeling that Elara could be ruined if anyone found out about her mistake. When I saw her struggle earlier, it hit me hard. She was more than just someone I cared about. She was someone I needed to protect, no matter the cost. I promised her mother to care for her and my emotions couldn't bear to see her hurt. Even after I sent Kael to handle the job of watching her, I would always go ahead to do it myself sometimes.
I can't deny the fact that I loved her, she was reserved and I admired that.
But I had to keep emotions aside and focus on what truly mattered.
As I walked towards her cabin, the air was still, only the faint sound of footstep
