Lila slumped to the ground.

"If you were being chased, say so sooner!" She lectured him. The moment she got separated from Kiryu, she felt her condition grow worse. So fighting those monsters took a lot out of her.

Hijii laughed, "Sorry, sorry."

This man is her mother's cousin, Jian Hijiri. During the big battle so many years ago, he was her mother's enemy and yet during the present day, he's a wandering lord who is no longer tied to any land or group In fact because of his old status as an enemy, he's always being watched over and heavily guarded.

She couldn't see where they were, but she could feel their presences.

Hijiri shook his head, "Why would they?"

That's true.

Most people want him dead.

She should call Kiryu, she didn't think they'd get separated. As Lila was about to take her phone out though, Hijiri-san stopped her, "Since you're here, why don't we chat?"
