Ayana looked down before frowning when her face was no longer visible to the two people before her. She did not like the fact that Irene and Quin would be in that place and watching her so closely, tightened her chest. She was already tired of dealing with the bodyguards Irene sent who would follow her like her shadow when she stepped outside. Now with the appearance of Irene and Quin inside the castle she had to be vigilant as soon as she entered the castle. Just thinking about it made her head heat up.
"No need. I don't want to trouble you further. I'm sure the guards around the castle will be able to give me maximum protection. I'm also not too weak and can take care of myself. I was one of the top graduates this year, in case you forgot," Ayana refused, the smile on her face already fading slightly.
