Christian felt embarrassed. What he didn't know, however, was that Anastasia felt embarrassed as well… just for an entirely different reason.
Did it really make sense for her special friend to possess a Living Flame that wasn't even ranked among the top hundred?
The very thought that she was helping him tame such an ordinary flame actually made her feel a little embarrassed on his behalf.
For a brief moment, Anastasia's attention drifted toward the Living Flame residing within her own body, and an absurd thought suddenly crossed her mind.
Should she simply give it to him instead?
But in the end, that was still impossible.
That flame was far too precious to her, and more importantly, Christian's current strength was nowhere near enough to withstand it, even with her assistance.
So naturally, the only option left was to find him another Living Flame… a better and worthy one.
