When Veronica heard how Sebastian treated Catherine, she didn't know what to say. She was left off-guard.
Catherine saw her friend's thunderstruck expression. Thus, she changed the subject, "Let's just wait for Vincent's letter. I want to stay in the tower and finish my work for the time being."
Veronica agreed with her. "That would be for the best. Who knows who will attack next? Since you don't have a bodyguard, it will be hard for you if something happens. Sebastian would protect you before. Who will do it now?"
"Maybe I should learn sword fighting with you," Catherine was considering it for a while.
"You can if you want. I'd love to show you a few moves, or you can just use teleport magically to teleport to the tower." Veronica didn't want to push her thoughts around. She wanted to accept whatever her friend wanted for her life.
"I think I will choose the latter, but who will give me the stone?" Catherine wondered.
