PASSAGE ENEMIES
[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: SUNSHINE ~ SIA]
After escorting Panha down the passage, Axilla hesitated, unsure whether to meet Lady Larel immediately, as instructed, or give her some privacy since the young master had something to discuss with the woman.
Reaching Lady Larel's door, Axilla shook her head and turned. She would come back later, she thought, but her step was cut short when someone bumped into her, making her lose balance.
"Watch it!" The young guard glared at her as if this was not the first time she had bumped into him.
Axilla regained her balance, "You should be apologizing, not warning, as you're the one in the wrong here," she found herself speaking confidently. After all, the guard was also a servant like her, nothing to be afraid of, especially when she did nothing wrong.
"For a tiny little girl, you sure have some nerve to talk back at me!" The guard said, pointing at Axilla.
