Genuine Concern

Marcellus had to double take for a moment - Winter can't seriously be playing around at this situation too.

Sure, it was a good thing that he found her in this state instead of the one he imagined. Considering that the one behind this is the head of the Ratri Order, many things could have already happened to her - undesirable things, that is. And he knew that she was well-aware that she had been abducted. But even then, she is acting like she is getting along well with her captor.

"What in the world is happening?" Ace blurted out from behind Marcellus, serving as the first one to react between the two of them. 

"I'm surprised that you're here too, Ace..." Winter started once more and stood up from her seat.

"Did you help Sir Lexington? Though it is reckless of you to go all the way here, I appreciate your hard work. Thank you for looking for me."
