The next day, after the event that happened at the bathhouse, Julian went ahead and looked for Klea. Alas, his efforts were in vain. The girl was nowhere to be seen as she had left the city already.
"I was so stupid," the Roman muttered to himself. "Why did I do that?"
Julian could only blame himself for confessing his desires to her. Now the girl had disappeared without telling him where she was going, he could only hope that she would return as soon as possible.
That way, he could give her an explanation and apology. Even though, if he were to be honest, he wasn't sure what explanation he could give that would be accepted by her.
Recalling the last memory he had at the bath house, Julian could only let out a deep sigh of helplessness. He deeply regretted his actions.
Time flew by as life went on.
