章 39: Mysterious Declaration

Shuna's eyes widened as she processed my words. "You mean… I could study at the Royal Academy as your squire?"

"Yes, exactly. I know it's unconventional, but it would allow you to pursue your dreams without worrying about the costs. And you'd be helping me in return."

Shuna's expression shifted from shock to contemplation. "It's a lot to take in…"

"I understand. Take your time to think it over. I just wanted to offer you this opportunity because I believe in your potential. You deserve the chance to achieve your dreams."

Shuna looked down, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Zelos, thank you. This means so much to me. I… I need some time to think about it, but I'm grateful for the offer."

"Of course, take all the time you need. Whatever you decide, I'll support you," I reassured her.
