If anyone else were to hear what Commander Eloria said to Vicus who was still more than weak, they would surely be surprised by how heartless she was. However, Vicus did not feel that way.
As someone who knew Commander Eloria well, he was aware of the fact that kneeling from the afternoon till the next morning was just the beginning if he were to be stubborn with what he wanted. He meant it when he said to Crown Prince Hemeri that Commander Eloria Camer could be unbelievably cruel at times.
Considering how sensitive the Commander was when it comes to trust, Vicus knew very well that there were more to come even if he were to be lucky enough to get Commander Eloria to hear him out.
"I won't dare to think that way," he finally responded to the Commander's question. Though his voice was still low and weak, Eloria could clearly hear it due to the torturous silence that enveloped the chamber.
