It sounded eerily familiar.

The words sent a shiver down my spine.

It couldn’t be, but he sounded so sad.

Had he mistakenly assumed I wasn’t standing up for him?

I squeezed between the two men blocking my way and stuck my head toward Adrian.

He’s not the type to be sad because we haven’t seen each other in a long time, and he’s talking to someone else without bothering to greet me…

‘…Adrian?’

It was only then that I realized something was wrong with my friend.

My heart sank as soon as I saw his face.

Adrian rarely showed emotion. It wasn’t that they were infrequent, but rather that the swings were not severe.

So the emotion of despair on his face was very foreign to me.

Evan staggered and grabbed her.

When I look back at him, I see an unknown emotion on his face.

I felt sorry for his scratched and bruised face, but all I could read was… ‘desperation’? Even that wasn’t quite right.

Even that wasn’t accurate. I’ve raced here and thought of all sorts of hypotheticals, but I don’t have an answer.

Why did he have to fight Adrian so early and so recklessly, so much earlier than in the original story?
For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com
Was the reason their meeting had been accelerated because he had come here to save me?

‘Even if we did run into each other… why couldn’t they just not fight?’

No, of course not, they’re meant to be.

“I’m here to stop the fight, because I want to, and I have the power,” I said, pulling Evan’s hand away firmly.

Evan’s question was tinged with anguish.

It was all I could say to a man who was so concerned for my safety, as if I were the one charging in with my life in my hands.

I know it sounds harsh, maybe even cruel.

Evan bit his lip at my words and lowered his head. He looked a little sorry for himself.

Something about him reminded me of a wounded puppy… Perhaps it was his male-buffed appearance?

…But I did save him from Adrian’s lethal spell, so hopefully that offsets some bitterness.

Evan backed off, and Rowan stopped holding me.

He seemed to have lost the will to continue the fight. I’m glad it was easier to stop than I expected.

I don’t think it’s going to be like this. I think it’s going to be more of a shocking revelation, but I feel like it’s going to be a sense of betrayal.

Betrayal. As I reflected on the word, it became more vivid.

It was the outcome I wanted to avoid the most and one of the biggest reasons I wanted to stay away from them.

Somehow, I feel like a sinner, even though I didn’t deceive them because I wanted to.

Dangerous…?

Why do they naturally assume that Adrian would be a danger to me?

Because he thinks I’m one of his people?

Because I was taken to the Tower, and he was the one who ordered it?

It’s subtly different from that. It’s more like he’s going to do something to me, or has already done something to me…

Rowan, standing behind him, shuddered and took a defensive stance.
