Chapter 74: Quiting the Game

If it was anyone else that person would have cursed Klautz for the miserable state they were in. But unlike the others Verona was kind and virtuous. She could never blame Klautz let alone be angry at him. 

"I was the one who had got unconscious in the middle of the wilderness. What choice did he have other than bringing me to his safe zone?" Verona was always able to put herself in the other's shoes.

If at all anything Verona felt happy. His presence was like a pool of water in the vast desert. She could only assure herself that at least someone who she knew was here amongst a world of strangers. Ever since she lost all of her friends at the Trial of Control all she had felt was extreme loneliness. 

She watched as Klautz gallantly fought the beast.

"Good luck, Shiny." She clasped her hands. She couldn't help but wish for Klautz's victory.
