–Frey Starlight's POV–
I never imagined I'd end up like this…
Sitting between two girls, hiding beneath the princess's cloak.
Sansa had done exactly what I expected from the start.
I was sure she had her own loyal students, just like Aegon.
That made dealing with the third-years a much more manageable task.
But until all the second-years were gathered,
I had to stay here.
With her.
Sitting beside the princess, I felt… strange.
After days of fighting and running nonstop since the trial began, this sudden stillness was unfamiliar.
Adriana remained completely isolated.
She hadn't said a word since Jessica left.
Everyone was quiet.
Only the sound of rainfall filled the space.
"Is it always like this between you two, or am I the reason?"
The silence was starting to gnaw at me,
so I broke it with a question.
But Sansa simply shook her head.
"No… we've been like this even before you arrived."
Before I arrived, huh.
Does it have to do with the dead monsters outside?
