บท 1430: Myron

"Was the ruin dangerous?" Mira asked; we finished the dinner a few minutes ago and now are walking on this beautiful city's streets.

"A little," I replied. I kept my answer short as possible; I don't want to tell her the horror I had faces on a daily basis; it will worry her more, but my answer doesn't seem to fool her as she gave me a look.

The look clearly says she does not believe my answer and will be getting a full answer from me in the near future. 

We walked in comfortable silence, hand in hand. We did not talk much, just continued walking, enjoying each other's company.

"How come you decided to participate?" I asked after a long silence. When she had dropped me off, she said she would not participate in the competition despite her parents' and organizations' insistence.

"Well, sometimes in the face of circumstances, personal opinions did not matter," she said in a low voice.
