"If you promise to let us go, I'll give you the Arcana!" Ciara declared in desperation.
So far, she had sensed the difference between her strength and that of the man before her.
They were akin to night and day.
"A wise choice indee—"
"NO WAY!" A loud voice interrupted the deal between the two.
It came from Jerry.
"No way! I'll never agree to this!" Jerry yelled, grabbing Ciara by her shoulders.
"We're never giving you the Arcana." His firm declaration shook the entire area.
Conviction was cemented on his face, and the boy's fiercely ignited passion shone from his eyes.
"Ciara… you don't really plan on agreeing with him, right? RIGHT?!"
The girl whose shoulder was being held felt a mix of emotions.
First, she felt her love for Jerry increase. His declaration and naïve confidence added a lot to his charm.
Second, she felt her heart race insanely. The way he gripped her shoulder, and the aggressive tone he was using… it made Ciara very excited.
