Titania remained quiet for a little while after that, her eyes drifting downward as though she was carefully gathering her thoughts before saying anything else. After several silent moments had passed between us, she slowly lifted her head and looked at me with a gentle smile that somehow carried both warmth and sadness at the same time.

"About what?" I asked, genuinely curious about what she meant.

"Do you remember when you fought against Prince Julius and Moriarty?" she asked. "You told everyone to hide so that none of us would become targets, didn't you? My father noticed that. He noticed how you kept worrying about my safety throughout everything that was happening around us."
