"So, what is your plan?" Catherine asked.
Arthur and Sebastian became alert. Their attention was drawn to the girls' conversation.
"I simply wanted to be a healer, not a blessed child. Since I became one, I will fulfill any duty I have to. I will use my power to help the weak and protect them from harm." Veronica was all fired up.
"…I understand. But who will protect you? This guy?" Catherine pointed at Arthur's back. She lowered her voice and asked, "Is this Arthur guy reliable? What if he is after you like other countries?" Her voice was full of suspicion.
Arthur turned his head subtly and stole a glance at Catherine. The girls didn't notice him. They were busy talking to themselves.
"You know we can hear you no matter how low your voice is, right?" Sebastian whispered from the back. He now regretted bringing this talkative woman with him.
"Oh, shut up!" Catherine retorted and then looked at her friend. She urged, "Now, tell me. Tell meee."
