When she saw the document, Rafael halted her steps. After pausing briefly, she began talking about something else,
"Earlier... I took Fisher to see my mother."
Moli was slightly taken aback by her words. She pressed her lips together but remained silent, waiting for Rafael to continue.
Rafael noticed Moli's silence from the corner of her eye. Her emerald eyes revealed no surprise as she continued,
"Moli, you're from outside the Dragon Court. Technically, none of this should concern you, but..."
"... Rafael, are you asking me to leave?"
Rafael looked at Moli with slight surprise but quickly shook her head, smiling as she replied,
"How could that be? In my heart, you've always been my good friend. Besides, I mean, matters of the Dragon Court shouldn't involve you, but all these years, you've been helping me. Without your support, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'm very grateful, and I deeply value our friendship... I don't blame you for Fisher, Moli.
