Was Dominic' rampage his fault? Shiao Yi's chest twisted with guilt.
If he hadn't acted, everyone there would have died, or at the very least been gravely injured by the robed man's magic circle attack.
Out of the corner of his eye, Shiao Yi caught sight of the robed man, Roaille and Libertus who are being escorted away by the guards. Both of them seemed unhurt.
"Shiao Yi, are you hurt anywhere? My heart was trembling the whole time, I was afraid that you might be die. Thank you… for risking your life to protect us."
Jircniv clasped both of Shiao Yi's hands in his own while speaking with deep emotional gratitude.
Between Jircniv' palms, Shiao Yi's hands pressed against each other.
The broken crystal cuff in his grip touched lightly letting out a small brittle chime.

The sound of a heavy clank echoed as a key turned in the lock, and with that sound, Dominic' mind surfaced back into awareness.
