Shuu watched as Princess Danielle and Lady Canarie left the guest room. His relaxed body tensed, and his hands shook a little bit as he looked down.
He had pretended to be brave and unaffected by their words, but in reality, he had been scared. His hands were shaking as he replied to the Princess.
'It is fine. It will all be alright. There is no need to feel scared.'
Shuu reminded himself as he slowly calmed himself down. But a single look in the mirror told him that he had not calmed down as well as he had hoped to.
His face was still pale, and his eyes looked a little wetter than they should.
"What should I do now?"
Shuu asked this question aloud, but he did not expect an answer, nor did he get one.
The whole situation with the change in prophecy, as well as his uncertain position, made him feel as if the ground would be swept from under him any second. And yet, he still trusted Emperor Kaiden.
His instincts told him that Kaiden would not let go of him, no matter what.
