Ch. 9: Feelings of Frustration (MOON)
Foia and I returned to the castle…
The soldier who had capture the leader of the attack ran up to us.
Soldier: "My Prince, how would you have us deal with the captive?"
Foia: "…treat him if he’s injured. I’ll talk to him face to face later, since everything’s still such a mess. Till then, I’m withholding judgment."
Soldier: "Yes sir!"
The soldier bowed and left in a hurry.
Foia crumpled into a chair in the hall.
OO: "Foia…"
Foia: "…"
Turning to me, he gave a listless smile and I could see the fatigue around his eyes.
Foia: "That must’ve been rough for you too. Go ahead and rest. Seems I’ll be kinda busy for a while…. I won’t really be able to keep you company after tomorrow, even though you went through the trouble of coming all the way here…"
I shook my head at Foia’s concern.
I want to be at his side…but if I am, I’m sure he’d fret over me.
I pushed down my feelings of wanting to stay, and returned to the guest room.
