Delta was in Du's room, folding the silk blankets she had with a hum. Something she would never be able to afford, if she was still living her old life in Nanas. Now, she was living in the enemy kingdom that she despised, folding the blankets for the daughter of the king who ordered to kill her own family.
While she was lost in her thoughts, she heard the door open a creak, seeing Du walk into the room. "Du, you're back! I missed you so much. Where were you off to? You were gone for so long..." Delta smiled softly at her, bowing at her. Of course, Delta knew exactly where Du went off to. Delta knew every corner, every secret passage in the castle. She was practicing white magic with the private tutor the king had hired for her.
Delta paused for a moment, looking down nervously. "I'm really glad you let me into your life... I don't know if I'm doing a good enough job as your knight. The only thing I'm really good for is my brute strength, and it's really unbecoming for a woman like me..." She laughed. Her expression turned neutral before smiling at her again.
This girl... She really made her conflicted. She didn't know if she wanted to trap her and keep her save in a gilded cage to save her for what her kingdom was about to do or smile as she saw her body burn into a crisp along with this damned kingdom.
