Chapter 130

Joshua was someone who truly understood my fears and always stood beside me.
He was there to ensure I wouldn't be afraid; to calm my anxieties.
For over nine years, he had faithfully protected me.
How could he not be precious to me?
But if I allowed my emotions to momentarily confuse me and change our relationship, we could end up hurting each other and leaving scars on our hearts, just as Carlisle had warned.
Honestly, most of all, I feared reducing our years of friendship to something so trivial.
Once that happened, there would be no turning back.
As proof, Michael had left the capital and hadn't returned, and Allen had left for the Magic Tower.
Though Allen occasionally paid visits, they were mainly to see me.
Julianne and Allen couldn't be the way they once were.

I didn't want that to happen with Joshua.
If we found ourselves in a situation similar to Lia's, he would surely sense my discomfort and distance himself.
"Lady Blanchet?"
