Lisa felt like her world came crashing down on her. Her heart ached at the sight. Her hands tremble in horror. She can't breathe. She was not the one who was wounded and in a terrible condition, and yet she felt like she was being strangled to death. She couldn't breathe, speak or even move. She could feel her hot tears pooling in her eyes, making her vision blurry.
What happened? Who did this? Is she fine? Is Jennie okay? Is Jennie still alive?
"Your Highness." Leo called, more like a beg, begging for Jennie to open her eyes. Despite his hazy vision, intense pain from his wounds, and heavy feet, Leo started walking toward her.
"Your Highness." Leo again called, cupping her cheeks that were wet with blood. Leo saw how deep the cut was on Jennie's cheek and he was horrified at the sight.
"Your Highness." Leo called for the third time, much louder and slightly shaking Jennie's face. Leo's comrades had finally gotten rid of their shock and were now standing beside him and calling Jennie, except Lisa.
Lisa was the only one who was still shocked. She was panicking. Fear was engulfing her whole existence. She was being flooded by questions that her fear instigated in her.
What if Jennie died?
What will she do?
How will she take the news?
How will she move on upon learning that?
Is this the end?
Will this be the last time that she will see Jennie again?
Will everything end like this?
Lisa was slowly becoming swallowed by the despair that she assumed when Leo's voice brought her back to reality. As if the Heavens heard their prayers, Jennie fluttered her eyes open, blinking her eyes rapidly to take in the surroundings.
"She's still alive! Get rid of the ties around her wrists!" Leo commanded, which Luca and Mino immediately obeyed. Finally getting rid of the ties on her wrist,
Jennie's knees gave up and Leo, despite his wounds, did everything to support her. Luca came to the rescue and took Jennie's other arm, putting it around his shoulder.
Lisa had finally moved. She hurried in front of Jennie, carefully held her cheeks, and softly uttered her name. "Jennie, my love."
Lisa was biting her lower lip to stop herself from crying. Her hands in Jennie's cheeks were shaking. Her lips were trembling. Her heart was breaking into pieces.
Jennie blinked her eyes as she lifted her head and looked directly into the eyes of the person in front of her. She could feel something hot that was running into her body, but this time it was comfortingly hot. She can feel the strength and magical power that the ropes stole from her, building up into her at an incredible speed.
The wounds on her stomach were closing up. She could feel her nerves getting back to life. She closed her eyes, feeling sleepy at the comforting feeling, and just let the magic run into her blood.
The glowing light coming from Lisa's bracelet stole Lisa's attention and so did Jennie's every servant. Her servants had an idea of what was happening, since they knew what that bracelet was and they were aware of the real owner of it, while Lisa was confused as hell.
