The City of Anfang and the Imperial Capital

Alastair stood before Soteria with a calm expression plastered on her face as she slowly walked toward her maid. "Are you okay, Soteria?" Alastair questioned as Soteria got out of her trance and turned her gaze toward her master. She immediately dropped the great sword on the ground as she was still in shock. 

Seeing this, Alastair furrowed her eyebrows as she immediately hugged Soteria and silently uttered to her. "It's okay now. I'm here..." It was nothing more but a whisper, though it was soothing enough for Soteria to calm herself down. Her heart rate returned to normal as her typical emotionless expressions returned. 

"You didn't look so good, Soteria. I shouldn't have given you such an order." Alastair squinted her eyes as she couldn't help but regret giving such an order to Soteria. Soteria calmly shook her head and denied the words of her master. "It must be me that should do it, Lady Alastair. Otherwise, I will be filled with nonsensical questions."
