Trying Too Hard

Seeing Lily defend her, Eliza felt a sudden warm feeling inside. She smiled inwardly as she eyed Harringfort's expression. Growing up, Eliza was not the type that would just keep quiet from the things that disturbed her.

However, seeing Lily act like this in front of her seemed to awaken something inside— something warm and comforting. Something assuring.
