Ase had never felt such a thing before in her life. In this world, she had heard of some things but never saw or experienced any of them. Through her whole life, this was the first time in her life to find herself in such a situation.
Caught by the imperials and sent to rot in a prison cell, this man who came out of nowhere had risked his life to help her escape. If not for him, she would've rotten to death inside that cold hole of a cell.
Just this alone would've been enough to steal her innocent heart. She who wasn't even accepted by her own tribe had finally found some who didn't just accept her but fought to save her life and freedom.
But Shin didn't stop there, what threatened Ase's life wasn't just the imperials but a black dragon. If he had abandoned her right there and then she wouldn't have blamed him, she would've been grateful for she didn't want the one that saved her life to risk his own life against a dragon.
