☀️ Arselia and Akonia

"First impressions matter more than second ones. You're crying now, but before that, I heard you laughing."
Erephir couldn't resist giving Nysho a handkerchief and patting her on the shoulder, then leading her to her room. Wiping away her tears, the redhead says:
-- Now, tell me, who are you, where are you from, and then I'll tell you how my liege saved your life, not sparing a part of his blood and physical strength for you. First, I want to know who I'm dealing with, what your name is, and what's going on in your heart...

Periodically sobbing and wiping her face with the handkerchief, Nysho told how she was a musician from a country called Nihon. As part of a small musical group, she was heading to the capital of the Rhemic Empire. There, the musicians were supposed to perform concerts, but they didn't make it to the capital; they were attacked by a gang of thugs. All the men were brutally killed, and she and another girl were raped for a long time.

- And then 😢 then 😥 two of them held me by the hands, one was behind... 😥 and the fourth... the fourth cut off my head 😭 😭 😭 and his name was Kenshiro
Nysho snuggles up to Erephir and continues to cry.
