But before it even fully settled, Dahlia jumped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hit the ground hard and immediately ran off without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone on deck froze for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel, who had been waiting below, frowned as he watched her disappear into the distance. \"What the hell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Aveline narrowed her eyes slightly. \"Yeah. That’s not like her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged a glance. Something was clearly off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But neither of them knew what happened. So they waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the rest of the group began stepping down from the ship one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden, Clara, the twins, Seira, and Valtor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they landed, Raviel and Aveline walked straight toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" Raviel asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did Dahlia run off like that?\" Aveline added, her tone calm but sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before anyone could answer...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara suddenly stepped forward and tapped Arden on the shoulder. \"Hey. Go check on senior sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked and pointed at himself. \"Me? Why me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara stared at him like he had just said something stupid. \"Are you serious right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She poked his chest with her finger. \"You’re the closest one to her, idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden frowned slightly. \"That doesn’t mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it does,\" Clara cut him off. \"You’re the second direct disciple. You trained with her the most.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She poked him again, harder this time. \"So go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara’s expression darkened. \"Goddamn it, just go already before she does something stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden let out a tired sigh. \"Yeah, yeah... I’m going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and immediately headed in the direction Dahlia ran off, picking up his pace quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara watched him leave, then nodded in satisfaction. \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel and Aveline stepped toward Clara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara raised both hands lightly. \"Yeah, yeah, I’ll explain what happened on the ship, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Raviel and smirked. \"...you’re not gonna like this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel frowned. \"Why are you looking at me like that? Why wouldn’t I like it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara shrugged. \"Just listen first. You can freak out after.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned in slightly and began explaining everything. What happened there and what they heard there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finished... Raviel’s expression stiffened. Aveline’s brow lifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s voice rose. \"Garion did what... with my sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face darkened immediately. \"That bastard! How dare he...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the ship. But before he could take a step... Aveline grabbed his ear hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel flinched. \"Ow! What the hell are you doing, Aveline?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline smiled at him calmly. \"You should be happy, not angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stared at her. \"Happy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s gaze didn’t waver. \"Your sister found someone she truly loves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She released his ear slowly. \"That is not something to get angry about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel rubbed his ear, still frowning. \"But this is Garion we’re talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed toward the ship. \"You know how strange and crazy he is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline nodded once. \"I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t hesitate. \"And I also know his good side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone stayed even. \"He is strong, reliable, and loyal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked straight ahead. \"Even if he’s... excessive, he is still a good match for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel opened his mouth to argue, but he stopped the moment Aveline looked at him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked his tongue and looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline then turned back to Clara. \"Still... it is interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes narrowed slightly. \"To think Garion wasn’t the one in control... but Rachel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara immediately nodded. \"Yeah, and that’s not even the craziest part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised two fingers. \"Not only did they go for two days straight...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head. \"They’re still going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel froze. \"...They did what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline let out a soft laugh. \"I expected as much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel looked at her, then back at the ship. \"There’s no way she’s like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline glanced at him. \"You underestimate her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice stayed calm. \"She has been restrained by your clan for too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shifted her gaze forward. \"Now she is simply being honest with herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel still didn’t look convinced. \"...That doesn’t mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline cut him off. \"It means you will not interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel frowned. \"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline turned her head slightly, her tone lowering. \"...Or would you like to spend the next year without me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel froze. \"...No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s expression softened just a little. \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped closer to him. \"I’ll make sure you’re well taken care of tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel immediately went quiet. Completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara, who had been watching everything, stared at both of them. \"...You two are not any better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline didn’t respond. Raviel avoided eye contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara let out a long breath. \"...This whole place is insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor walked past them, laughing loudly. \"HAHA! Now this is what I call a proper sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara shook her head. \"...I’m going somewhere quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and walked off without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden moved quickly across the island, checking every place Dahlia would normally go. \"...Where did she go...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went to her room first. Empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked his tongue and turned away without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he headed for the training hall. The moment he got close...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud metallic sound echoed from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden paused. \"Everyone else should still be on the deck... so it has to be her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed the door open and stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia was on the bench, lifting heavy weights with steady rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her movements were fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden let out a small breath. \"...Finally found you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked closer. \"Senior sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia glanced at him for a split second... Then she turned her head away and kept lifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden watched for a moment, then sighed. \"...You’re overdoing it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved to the side and sat down on a nearby bench, resting his arms on his knees. \"You always do this when you’re upset.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stayed quiet for a few seconds, then spoke again, voice calmer. \"...You don’t have to pretend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s grip tightened slightly on the bar. But she didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden leaned back a bit. \"If you’re angry, just say it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her directly. \"...Take it out on me if you want.
