"No," Judith whispered to him, a smile still on her face. "I'm happy that you came to see me. I-" she paused for a moment, her face became red. "I was worried about you." she couldn't remember the last time that she was this happy. Probably when she was a child. She had been stressed more than anything else after she returned to the main town. The king had arranged for her to meet him whenever he was not busy, he wanted every detail about what had happened. He even wanted to know if she had found out anything important about the Dark Elves abilities, but she said that she didn't. Judith wondered what the king would do if he discovered that she was lying.

Judith brought her body to his and her arms wrapped around his torso, she squeezed him gently. "That makes me feel safe," she muttered when he mentioned proving how badly the town's guards were. Though she could only imagine how much those men had been through. They were in charge of keeping the town safe and on top of it an attack was expected any day now. "Everyone is panicking, they are all afraid of what is going to happen." she let out a sigh and buried her face against his chest.

She wasn't sure if Rhyldrin had remembered her kissing him, it made her have butterflies when she thought about it. Judith didn't even know if he felt that way about her. Saying that he cared about her was one thing but it didn't mean that he perhaps wanted to be with her. Though that wouldn't be possible considering what was happening between the Dark and Light Elves now. Even before this it would have been impossible. I'm such an idiot, she thought and closed her eyes. I can't be with him, I can't allow myself to fall more. What am I even doing now? Making a fool of myself, that's what.
