Bab 68: The Spirit Race Part 3

"Your Grace, you do not need to worry about this. On my name, Adellia Gravos, I swear on my honor that I will be harmed first before any harm comes to Faith." Hearing Adel swear on such a thing left me feeling strange inside. Why would Adel protect me over her own life?

"Adel, please retract that statement. Your life is not something that should be taken lightly." I really couldn't have Adel sacrificing herself for me at some point to uphold her word. I mean, I have mana shield! What can hurt me unless it is indirect? The last thing I want on my consciousness is Adel being seriously hurt or ending up dead thinking she is protecting me.

"No, I will not!" Adel immediately refused. Looking at her serious expression, I could only sigh. I guess I can only promise inwardly that I will keep her safe if anything were to happen.
