+Volcanic Graveyard: Zem City+
----Mercuria POV----
"Can't you stay for a while?" I know that I am reluctant, we just met not long ago: not even a day has passed.
I only wished to have her to myself for a while.
Maybe we can have dinner together with everyone?
I can introduce her to my friend, Venus.
Is it so extravagant after all?
"I'm sorry, sister. It's just that I can sense that someone is coming for me. If I don't leave now, you and your friends will be implicated." Royal gazed in the direction of the punctured wall.
Her eyes are as dark as the abyss, unknown emotions churning restlessly.
I feel so uncomfortable trying to make sense of the many things in her gaze that does not involve even a single thought dedicated to me.
"Is there nothing we can do to help?" I asked, feeling powerless.
[I have money and power, yes, but not the power I need.]
"No." Royal answered, putting on her tattered robe before disappearing from my sight.
