"I'm alone again," Cassian had whispered, holding the necklace around his neck.
However, the moment this sentence echoed in the depths of his mind, it was shattered by an angry and resentful voice.
"What do you mean you're alone!"
Nivelle's voice echoed in Cassian's mind.
"Ahh..." Cassian said, speaking internally. His voice was weary but carried an underlying acceptance.
"Pardon, great Nivelle. I forgot your existence for a moment as I thought you were in your deep sleep. Excuse me."
"Okay, my prince," Nivelle said, her voice still sounding like she was throwing a tantrum but softened. "I accept your apology for this time. But if you ignore me again, I'll sing ceaselessly in your mind!"
Cassian slumped his shoulders. That word again.
"You too..." he sighed, his voice mingling with the howling of the wind.
"Did you fall for those witches' nonsense too? I'm sick of hearing the word 'Prince' now."
