Chapter 50

A pair of arms wrapped around Cecil, catching her smoothly. The man glided through the air, the soldiers scattered to avoid Zasiok from landing on them.

"Thank you, Zasiok," Cecil breathed out and Zasiok set her down gently.

Cecil winced, rubbing at her sore back and Zasiok regarded her with a concerned frown.

"I'm alright, just a little sore."

Someone rushed at them, not giving them a break, and Zasiok subdued them instantly.

Cecil eventually realised Zasiok had left his parents to save her, and she panicked. "Wait, Zasiok, what about your parents?!"

"My master is with them, no one will hurt them when my master is there." He answered and Cecil sighed in relief.

"Oh, thank god."

Zasiok stared at Cecil, his lips curving faintly.

When he saw Hana and Cecil stepping in, an inexplicable feeling rose up within him, especially when Cecil helped to free him.

They...didn't need to do it at all. They had no obligations.
