When he held me, I distinctly felt a tremor in his right hand.
Raven was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and patted my head. "Violet, you're such a good girl. It's Azure's fault he doesn't cherish you."
Raven hated evil and would not abandon me.
As expected, I heard him continue, "I won't leave anymore. If I can't even protect you, then I'm unworthy to be your senior."
With Raven's help, even our senior, Orion, who was always busy with the sect's affairs, learned of the matter. He came to Azure with a look of anger, joining Raven in giving him a severe beating.
Seraphina stood by, so frightened that she could only cry, not daring to make a sound.
Remembering she had said she would give her life to be with him, I hid under the covers, giggling.
"This is not the end, Azure. You've insulted Cynthia this way. I will make you pay the price."

During Azure's recovery, Seraphina sought me out first.
She must have been a lady of privilege, raised to be haughty, and as soon as she saw me, she raised her chin arrogantly. "Azure doesn't love you. Why do you keep clinging to him?
"You're just a stuffy good girl, devoid of any spirit. How could he possibly be attracted to you?"
