She exhaled slowly.
"So I chose the sword."
"Since then there's no tension. No suspicion."
"That was one of my reasons."
Rowan looked at her for a moment
Then looked away.
"Well I'm not someone who should be involved in royal family matters," he said plainly. "And it's not like I care that much."
He stood up slightly.
"Let's end this discussion here."
Velqira nodded quietly.
Velqira stayed silent for a moment, still thinking about everything that had just happened in the arena.
Rowan glanced at her from the side.
She's been quiet
Still thinking about it?
He looked ahead again.
The first time we met, we were both six
And even then, she was already worrying about things like her sister about being seen as a threat.
He shook his head slightly.
That's none of my concern.
Still she hasn't changed much.
Just then
A staff member hurried into the arena and leaned toward the teacher, whispering something into her ear.
The teacher slowly regained her composure.
