DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter Separation and Connection
In the aftermath of their conversation with Master Gaza and the decision to journey separately, silence hung heavy in the air. Rosche, feeling the weight of the situation, was the first to break it. She turned to Eamon and earnestly said, “Eamon, I didn’t mean to push you away. It’s just that our journey could be dangerous, and I don’t want to put anyone’s life in danger.”
Eamon, his gaze steady on Rosche, responded, “I know, Rosche, and I’m willing to protect you two along your journey, no matter if it’s in the city or wherever we need to be.”
Rosche couldn’t help but be surprised when Eamon revealed that he knew they weren’t going to the city, but rather somewhere else. She was momentarily rendered speechless, then asked, “How did you know?”
Eamon admitted, “You were so insistent on leaving the group that I figured you had something important to do elsewhere.”
Feeling a rush of gratitude, Rosche thanked Eamon for not exposing her lies to Master Gaza.
Eamon, ever modest, replied, “It’s nothing, really. I’m here to help.”
A soft, shared laughter passed between them as Rosche reminisced about their past. “It’s funny to think that you’re going to protect us when you couldn’t protect yourself from those bullies in the academy.”
Eamon smiled, albeit a little ruefully. “It’s not that I couldn’t protect myself... it’s just that I chose not to fight back. Now it’s a different situation.”
As they exchanged sweet smiles and the air became thick with a newfound connection, Geran, feeling the growing attraction between them, turned around and started walking. He let out a sigh, calling out, “Come on now, you two.”
With a shared glance, Eamon and Rosche knew that their journey would be a different kind of adventure, one that would test their abilities, their trust, and the depths of their feelings for one another. The future, once uncertain, now held the promise of both danger and romance.
