And before she could process that, Argider felt herself swept off her feet, a strong arm looping around her waist as the knight effortlessly scooped her up, carrying her like some fairytale princess.
Argider's cheeks flushed, and she looked up at her mysterious, very tall rescuer. With a firm but surprisingly gentle tone, the knight said, "Allow me to return the favor."
