"Luca!" I shrieked. "Why on earth did you do that?!"
Poor Elliot! He was such an innocent boy. It pained me to see him being thrown like that on the ground!
I ran up to them, offering a hand to help Elliot up.
"Elliot, are you okay?" I asked.
Elliot only looked flustered at my sudden appearance. "I'm fine, Y–Your Highness! D–don't worry about me! P–please!" He didn't take my hand and quickly got on his feet on his own.
I elbowed Luca in the arm. "Why did you do that to this poor boy?!" I demanded.
Luca raised his brows. "Poor boy? Don't underestimate him, Lena. He is very capable. Although… I do admit, he doesn't look very capable at all at this moment." Luca laughed and thumped Elliot's back. "Look what you've done to him, Lena. You've turned my best fighter into a blushing boy!"
Elliot's face was beet red. His eyes were trained on his feet. Captain, please…" he mumbled, sounding very embarrassed. "I'm really okay, Your Highness. It was just a demonstration… I'm sorry."
