"How could that be? I came to pick you up the moment I could."
The scene left Charlotte even more shocked. She froze completely, as if turned to stone.
Can someone tell me what the hell just happened?
A wave of dizziness washed over Charlotte. Suddenly, she remembered something one of the soldiers had said:
Any Divine Chosen who meets his gaze for three seconds will be subdued.
"Wait… seriously? That can't be real."
Charlotte's pupils trembled with disbelief.
"What's wrong with this child?"
Ashina poked Charlotte's cheek.
"Probably too happy," Phield said casually, completely unaware that Charlotte's brain had practically crashed.
"This is Ashina, one of Nightfall Domain's Divine Chosen. From now on, everyone should get along."
"Y-yes… yes… yes…"
Charlotte answered in a daze. It wasn't until she followed the others into a crude mountain stronghold that she finally regained her senses.
