Chapter 20: New Quest?
I thought it was only a matter of time before he broke down and confronted his emotions.
I was mistaken.
Once again, he shattered my assumptions about him.

I doubted he had sexually assaulted her, as they had been claimed, because even I knew by this point that many within the Zahara Clan wanted him dead.

I have seen too much of the academy’s inner politics to think otherwise.
This time, after the duel, he returned to the clinic...
He slept with a smile on his face.
There were no nightmares.
