บท 124: 'Him'...Or 'Her'? (Ch.124)

"Rina!" Turace exclaimed, his heart dropping as he saw the cold lord dropping down to the ground.

Turace dove forwards and appeared just in time to catch her fall, gentling lowering her to the ground, her head nestled against his chest.

"Examine her! Quickly!" Turace ordered, 

Within himself, Turace could not help but note how strange the word 'her' sounded coming out of his lips,

Truly how odd it felt to be referring to Lord Rina as a 'her' rather than a 'he' which Turace had grown accustomed to.

It was different feeling entirely, to finally see the face hidden beneath Lord Rina's black jade mask and although Turace had anticipated he would be shocked, not even in his wildest dreams had he expected this

Turace was stumped for words, even his thoughts were in complete disarray, his shock and worry for Lord Rina rendering him incapable of any sound thought.
