Right after Kaya Ouchi's judgement, my legs carried me off somewhere else.
I want to see him...I really want to see him!
While I was crossing halls, I accidentally fell from trying to avoid someone. That person ended up falling with me.
"Arielle?"
"Garett..."
"Arielle, welcome back," Garett said with a smile.
"I am back..." I said as tears suddenly fell down my face.
"Arielle!" Garett said as he quickly wiped my tears with his handkerchief in a frantic manner.
"Kaya Ouchi kidnapped me and brought me to a strange cabin with my friend Dolton. I put up a strong face for him because he was injured, but I was actually really scared. I was scared that maybe I would end up causing more harm than good to Dolton...or that Kaya Ouchi would come back with her lackeys and attack us again...Most of all, I was scared that I would never be able to see you again," I said in a fluster.
When I came back, I presented the evidence to Prince Erik. He helped me take care as well as hide Dolton away from Kaya Ouchi's eyes while he received proper treatment and helped me convict her. The whole time I wanted to see Garett.
My tears would not stop at all...I have become a useless woman.
"What can I do to get you to stop crying?" he asked as he wiped my tears with his thumb.
"M-May I make an odd request?" I asked nervously.
"Of course," Garett said.
"...Can I ask for a hug?" I asked.
He is going to say 'no'...
"Wait for a sec," he said as he swooped me up in his arms.
"G-Garett?"
He leapt over a railing and brought me to a grassy area behind the bushes. We were hidden from all eyes on all sides.
Was he being mindful of other people?
"Here," he said as he opened his arms all wide.
I went in for a hug and held him tightly around his body. He wrapped his arms around me as well.
"A little tighter please..."
Enough so that I can barely breathe...I want to feel your presence strongly in my arms.
"Ah...okay..."
He squeezed me a bit tighter than before. I moved my hands up his back and lightly brought my nose to his nape.
