Returning Home In Chains

[Author's note: This chapter is back to Seri's perspective.]

We took our time returning back. I purposely procrastinated in order to make up for the time we spent apart. Even though fulfilling that wicked promise of his made my legs go numb every single night. Eventually, we arrived back to the Imperial City. We stood on the outskirts overlooking it. Dante turned to me, "Should we return back to your home?"

I narrowed my eyes as I thought, "I feel like I am forgetting something very important…"

"…"

Knights suddenly appeared as if on cue and pointed their swords at us, "Are you the one called Seri?"

I immediately threw my hands up in a surrender as I yelped, "Yes!"

They shouted, "The King has ordered you to be detained and brought to his Majesty to seek justice!"

AH! How could I forget!?! I promised William that I would return and he could punish me for his father's death and helping a traitor once I returned!
