Raven knew something now—after the punch he had given to that guard, which he wasn't supposed to. He was certain he could do anything just for her to stay by his side, and he knew he was in deep risk. He was the risk. He knew he would risk himself, knowing that sooner or later, they would find out she was a mermaid.
