Such clear favoritism. I laughed through my tears.
"But Azure, didn't you forget that it was you who begged for my help, and it's because of you that I'm suffering today?" I whispered to myself.

"I've been away for quite some time. I never expected to walk into such a lively scene upon my return."
A teasing voice interrupted Wynd's movement. Everyone turned to look.
I rose silently, with Azure and the others following suit. He cautiously reached for my wounds, but I evaded his touch subtly.
His hand froze.
At that moment, the owner of the voice approached me. "Oh, isn't this my dear Violet?"
"Azure made a mistake. Why is Violet the one being punished?" His tone turned icy.
This voice... I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. "Raven, it hurts so much!"
It was Raven, another senior of me. I knew he was a man of deep emotions, unlike Azure, who was timid and fearful.
He had left the sect for his own journey when I was just six, but precisely because of that, he knew the real me.
Azure's marriage to Seraphina would surely bring him back. He was the one who could help me escape this dreadful place.
