#Chapter 70. Parted
Arthur turned to the rest of the room, “I’ll be sending a group with her to escort her back.”
"I'll go!" Mamie volunteered.
Blade stood, "But Mamie--"
"She needs someone she can trust to go with her." Mamie beamed at Daphne, "And it's doubtful many others will agree to go."
Daphne frowned, "I don't think it's a good idea…"
Mamie smiled at her, "I'm a lot tougher than I look. I promise."
Mamie looked at Blade who clenched his jaw, wanting to disagree, but he huffed, unable to formulate an argument. Mamie was the best choice as whoever else would be sent wouldn't be as close to Daphne.
"Are you sure about this?" Blade asked, looking at Mamie.
"Positive."
Arthur nodded, "Fine. We'll send three others."
He looked at them, “We’ll send whoever can be trusted to obey orders.”
Blade nodded and looked at Mamie who gave him a comforting smile.
It’ll be fine, Mamie told him through their bond.
Blade hoped so.
