[No... I don't think it's because of what I said.]
[Ariel... He really meant it when he said he'd become my Knight.]
[*Sigh*... I thought it was just some Chunnibyou phase.]
Berkah pinched his eyebrows and raised his gaze toward the platform.
"*Ahem!*"
Dromaius cleared his throat to thaw out the awkward atmosphere.
"Who, if I may ask, is the one you swore your allegiance to?"
He was genuinely curious.
Ariel took at deep breath and pointed down at Berkah with a stern expression on his face.
[Oi...]
Berkah felt the countless pairs of eyes of all the people present fall onto his being.
He wished that the ground would open up and swallow him whole due to all the embarrassment he felt.
Berkah averted his gaze from the platform, and acted as if he didn't know that Ariel was pointing at him.
"*Ahem!*"
Dromaius cleared his throat once more, a part of him wanted to believe that Ariel was just playing a childish game.
