The atmosphere around the group was grim.
Richard and the other three have safely returned to the cruise ship and are currently sitting in a circle but
no words have been exchanged except for the initial short conversation Ben had with others.
Bella and Emily were sitting beside Richard, anxiety written over their faces. However, neither of them dared to disturb him.
Richard's expression clearly told the situation back in the fortress.
Lilia could sense that her master was shaken up after he witnessed his friend. She has already guessed what could have been the situation of a person who was solely used as a power generator.
"Young master..."
"I am fine, Lilia. Just give me a moment." He spoke without removing his eyes from the ground.
Several things were going through Richard's mind as of now. However, if he lets them overwhelm him, then not only will he lose his friend, but he has to embrace lifelong guilt as well.
