"NOOO!"
I shoot up, terror filling my heart, my veins, and my soul.
It didn't take a genius to figure out what could potentially happen to the Saintess… All because of my own damn stupidity!
'No! Please, no! Anything but that!'
She helped me so much. She literally saved my life, brought me to the town's relative safety, helped me to get connected, and was even out with me to protect my experiment!
And how did I repay her?
By putting her life in jeopardy?!
'God, please, anything but…!'
Terrified to the end of my wits, I finally turned around—
"What?"
Selia sat down on her heels, looking at me all confused, if not outright weirded out.
This expression of hers lasted only for a second, before her face changed, turning from surprise to alert and then worry.
'She is… she is…'
Frozen in place, I could only swallow my spit.
'She's…!'
