"I didn't promise to keep your existence here a secret from Zeline."
Arthur's words made Kalea turn to him with an annoyed expression. "You said you could do it!"
"Now that I think about it, it won't last long. That girl really wanted to see you, she got sick and locked herself in her room because you didn't tell her about your escape," Arthur explained as he lit a cigarette and took a drag. "Zeline really thinks of you as her best friend."
Zeline's heart stunned, guilt getting the better of her when she knew that Zeline had suffered quite a bit from being abandoned by her. Kalea's upset expression slowly turned into a sad one. She also wanted to meet with Zeline, but she did not want to do it in the village. Arthur's presence must have made Kai uncomfortable, so Kalea did not want to further trouble the man with the scarlet hair.
