Before The Capital's Big Ceremony

The guards rushed out of the capital's gate, seeing Arad walk toward them. "Lord Arad! Those two are..."

"I know," Arad stopped, looking back at the unconscious man in the back, "I'll talk with Five about them later." Behind the soldiers, Arad could see Gin staring at him with a passive face.

"I saved that witch," Gin said, "I found her almost dead at the bottom of the sea. I can't believe she survived in the condition you left her in."

"She was aiming her spell at me, but the carriage was behind me." Arad replied, "She's lucky I didn't rip her head off,"

"Crushed ribs, lungs, and stomach," Gin looked back, "If not for the protective magic she had on her body, she would've been crushed by the sea pressure if she survived that smack of yours."

"Coming from me," Arad walked toward the carriage, going past Gin, "Is considered holding back, see that one?"
