Tangled by Fate

At Ovior's question, Veronica simply opened her eyes and turned to look at him.     

"Nothing that you should be concerned about," she calmly said.     

Ovior fixed his glasses. "Look, it's not that I'm criticizing you. I'm not saying I started hating you for hurting that guy. He deserved it.     

"I want to know how the girl who even forgave her enemy cut off a man's hands."     

"I just did it. It's not a big deal. You can tell Arthur about it. I don't mind. It's not like I wanted to hide anything from him anyway," Veronica nonchalantly said.      

"I'm sure Master won't freak out," Sebastian did his best to ease Veronica.     

"That's exactly when he will freak out," Ovior muttered.     

Sebastian: "…"     

Veronica: "…"     

An awkward silence fell in the room.     

As if to save them from the awkwardness, the village head came to the room.     

"I hope I'm not bothering your rest," he said.     

Veronica got up and sat on the chair.
