Nyx was still standing in the arena.
Alden had walked away already.
What… was that?
Her heartbeat still was a bit unstable.
She took a deep breath.
It was nothing.
Just an accident.
Then why did it feel so different?
Why wouldn't my mind just let go of the moment?
Am I that desperate for warmth?
No.
That wasn't it.
It was just… unexpected.
That's all.
Yes. That had to be it.
She wasn't used to such close interactions.
Her father never allowed anyone near her, and she never really cared to get close to anyone, either.
The other students were still laughing, and some were whistling.
She didn't feel anything about it.
Because something irritated her at the moment more.
Alden's reaction.
He hadn't even looked back at her.
Not even once.
He didn't seem affected by the accident at all.
Her eyes narrowed.
Tch. Fool.
Am I not beautiful or what?
No, that dumbass must be blind.
She was a prideful person.
Her servants always told her that she was pretty.
