"What are you doing here?" "Relaxing? Getting lost in my thoughts?" Hellen replied with a shrug, her back relaxed against the tree with her gaze trained on the distance. "I'm not entirely sure. I just found myself here." "It's training time; why didn't you join the others?" Kenderick asked as he sat beside her with his hands buried in his pockets. "The coach wants me to get my shit together," Hellen breathed out, her voice devoid of any emotion while her brows pulled together in a frown. "I keep getting agitated during the training.""You are the most focused and attentive one amongst your batch. It's impossible for you to get agitated. Who were you training against? Caroline? Joshua?" "Ted, I've been nothing but distracted since Mom's death," She replied dryly. "It wouldn't have mattered who I was training with at the time. I just keep aiming for their vital spot. Every one of my aims was to kill." Unable to find an answer to her words, Kendrick remained silent as he relaxed aga

"Can I get a pack of macarons and two packs of croissants?" Asked a silver‑haired man, his brows and eyelashes the same silvery shade, while Jasmine stood behind the counter, gently sipping natural mango juice after her morning shift."Coming right up," she murmured, trying not to spill as she reached around the service area."Take your time; I’m not in a rush," he added with a gentle chuckle. His eyes crinkled at her worried smile."Sorry… So that’s one pack of macarons and two packs of croissants. Right?" she confirmed, beginning to box the order. She stole glances at him as she worked.Noticing, he laughed softly. "Planning to ask if it’s natural or dyed?""I don’t mean to be rude," she flushed, embarrassed at being caught. “It’s just… you look different.”He raised an eyebrow, tilting his head. “Different how?”“Oh! Not in a weird way,” she hurriedly corrected. “You’re different—beautifully different. The blue in your eyes shines against your silver hair. It’s relaxing. It makes p

"Thank you, Beta Kendrick!" The grey-haired woman dropped to her knees, bowing so low her forehead touched the dirt.Her shoulders trembled as she sobbed, her face streaked with tears and snot while she clung to his ankles, stopping him from escaping as he had been doing the past few days."If not for you… My son would’ve been executed for something he didn’t do." She cried, her voice hoarse from how much she had cried and shouted after him. "After losing my husband just months ago, I... I couldn’t have survived losing him too.""I'm forever grateful to you!" Kendrick stiffened as he felt her hands around his ankle. He groaned, unsure what to do as the woman wept at his feet. Before he could utter a word, another figure rushed forward."You saved my daughter too!" Another woman joined, kneeling beside the first, with a basket of freshly picked fruits clutched to her chest. Her face glowed red from excitement or embarrassment, and her hands trembled slightly as she held the basket out

"Every time I see you, you are always distressed," Jasmine mumbled as she stood beside Kenderick with a large book under her arms while they both watched the warriors training. "I'm not distressed," Kenderick replied, his voice a little sharper than usual. As if sensing his defensive tone, he cleared his throat and added. "I'm a little distracted but not distressed." "You are distressed," Jasmine replied. "I don't know how, but I can feel it when I'm close to you. I can feel your shift in moods. The last time you were at the bakery, you were annoyed. Wait a minute, I've never actually felt a positive emotion from you. Why?" "Are you here to see your sister?" He asked, subtly changing the topic. "Do you often come here to watch her train?" "You are changing the topic," Jasmine pointed out. "But I understand you. I wouldn't feel comfortable if a stranger walked up to me to talk about my moods." "You are not a stranger, though," he corrected while Jasmine shrugged."You mean not ent
