94 A Different Perspective

[Ichiko's POV]

Although I initially wanted to stand and fight, Bell had managed to convince me to flee. If he hadn't intervened, I would have stubbornly risked my life.

Nervously, yet with confidence in Bell's judgment for us to leave while he stays back and fight with Arthurr by his side, I prepared to make my escape when Diana suddenly requested something from him.

They both vanished, surrounded by an ice barrier that I couldn't see through.

My mind raced, wondering about this secret they had to hide from me. 

What were they doing inside there? Why didn't she want anyone to see?

This was the only that was on my mind. As I ran, I cast a sidelong glance at Diana, my curiosity growing.

What secret do these two share? 

There had to be more to their relationship than met the eye.

I desperately wanted to ask Diana, but I doubted she would reveal it and I also had too much pride to ask her.
