”...Fedora-San.” I mumble.

”Ha! Creative, aren't we?” He chuckles while fixing his posture to a more comfortable position. I can tell he's mocking me. Although his lazy expression remains on his face, I can spot a mocking smirk in his lips.

I pout, not answering his redundant question.

Having not thought about it before, I ask,” Why were you in here?”

”Bodyguard.” He answers without any further explanation.

”Why do I need a bodyguard?”

”Protection.”

...Oh, you mean like the main job of a bodyguard? YEAH, I got that part. I want to know ”Why?”

He looks at me like I'm an idiot. Sighing, he explains,”You, an enemy, has trapped everyone in here with your vines, and most of the soldiers know what happened to the last guys, their friends and comrades, that got trapped and taken as hostages.”

That memory still angers me whenever I recall it,” I had nothing to do with that decision.” I say seriously, looking directly into his light blue eyes.

”Good to know, they don't care. All they care about is that fact that their people were burned alive by your people.” He returns my stare.

I stay silent for a couple of seconds not knowing how to counter. I grit my teeth and continue my silence, head hung low. I softly mumble to myself,”I never would of let that happen if I knew.”
