After writing everything down in the book, I closed it and savor a moment of peace while sitting on the sofa. Though the occasional laughs and gasps coming from Reina helped me not to succumb to the dream world.
As I sat there, basking in the tranquil atmosphere, my mind began to wander.
The images of the burning city came back again after a long time. As the images became more vivid, I shook my head and displaced the thought away from my mind.
"That again…!" I said through gritted teeth, placing my hand on the temple.
Reina shifted her position as she heard my grunt, her eyes staring at me with a mix of wonder and worry.
"Master?"
Her head was tilted to one side as if asking me if I was okay.
I forced a smile even though a pang of pain still stabbed my head like a needle.
"I'm fine. Just reminded of something horrible," I said with a dismissive tone.
I thought that was going to make her back off, but I was wrong.
