They were sorry

The girl looked at the amulet with confusion. But then it dawned on her that someone must have gifted the amulet to Hazel and she was giving it to.. Her! To protect herself.

She was risking her life for saving a maid like her. She felt touched but at the same time ashamed to care so much about her life when she had sacrificed so much.

"I.. I can not take this, my lady. I trust you that you will protect me.`` She shook her head and did not take the amulet from the hands of hazel.

"But if I die, I want you to help my family. They only have me to protect them after my brother's death." Hazel knew what the girl was thinking so she did not pressurise her anymore.

She even knew that the girl would not die, yet she nodded because she knew no matter how much she would assure the girl, the fear would not go away from her heart.
