After a few minutes of hesitation, Karium Maselli managed to find the courage to tell Lena everything that happened from the night he was identified by that General in the Lezaria Army camp to how he came back to tell her the truth.
All the while, he observed the expression on his friend's face. He was a bit surprised by how well Lena managed to compose herself. He only saw a slight reaction.
It seemed like she changed a lot in a short time.
To make things short, he only told her the important points. He believed that those guards will manage to find Lena soon.
When Karium finished telling everything, he noticed the pain in Lena's eyes. That was one of the things he never wished to witness.
"I'm sorry, Lena," he muttered in a low voice. "I never want to hurt you, but... I just can't give up on you." He narrowed his eyes and added, "If my mother happens to get what she wants... I don't want you to be in a dilemma."
