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.
