Bab 582: 83.14 Reflection

I paused in my words, "What is it, Alset?"

For the first time in minutes, I felt my arm lighten as the Primzahl finally let go of her hostage. Sitting up straight beside me, she took a deep breath as we all waited for her words. Her gaze roamed the entire camp before inevitably settling to my own as she spoke.

"I... I want to help."

I felt the atmosphere around me get charged as Alset stated her intentions. It was as if she had saturated the air around us again, only this time, it was metaphorical instead of being literal. And to be quite honest, I didn't know which was worse.

"Let you... help?" I asked. "Are you sure? I thought you didn't want to fight anymore?"

"I won't," the Primzahl firmly reiterated. "I won't fight. I was never a fighter... But I can help in other ways. I just know it."
