"What do you think you're doing?" Loriel quickly stepped away from the woman and threw her a glare. He furiously rubbed his cheek and gave her a deep frown. "I took you along with me because you needed my help."
Hilde's face heated up and she looked away from him. "I don't understand you. After what we've been through together for the last months in this tournament. Don't you feel a connection with me?"
"We may have gotten along but it doesn't mean anything to me. I only see you as an acquaintance and yet you've done this." Loriel shook his head disappointedly. "I told you that I have a wife."
"But why do you have to suffer through so much to be reunited with her?" Hilde asked. "Why did you need to go here in Cretea to be a god, Loriel? If she truly loved you then she wouldn't make you suffer just to be with her."
