"Artor!"
Ellie Miller cried out his name angrily.
The man's figure stiffened.
Ellie looked around; there was no one else.
"Why are you here at this time?"
After a moment's thought, she understood the timing of the man's appearance, and how he immediately targeted August...
"Is my shadow...?"
Artor remained silent.
Ellie felt a tightness in her chest from anger. "Pointing towards Kostanyn, 'You give me...'"
The word swirled in her mouth, and finally, she said, "Please leave, now, immediately!"
Artor stared at her blankly, something in his blue eyes slowly crumbling.
For the first time, Ellie steeled her heart, "I'll say it again, please leave now."
"And take with you those... things in the shadow!"
"Artor, I don't need to live under your surveillance."
Artor raised his hand, "But Ellie, they're just to protect you..."
Ellie pointed at the realizing August, "Are you really just using them to protect me?"
Artor: "..."
Seeing Artor reach out his hand.
