"YOUR GRACE, are you alright?"

Lisa remained poker faced even though Captain Sherwood was making him uncomfortable.

The captain just asked him if he was alright but the tone he used and the face he was making now could be easily misunderstood by other people.

Luckily, only Captain Denver was standing beside him.

The other knights and Fire Wielders were heavily guarding Count Huxley as he was being transferred from the Fire Wielders' custody to the Blue Dragon Knights' squad. Captain Denver's vice-captain was the person in-charge of overseeing the process.

"I'm alright," Lisa said. "I wasn't the target of the attack. But the young Fire Wielder that Lord Huxley tried to kill is still unconscious."

Captain Sherwood's facial expression hardened. "The Blue Dragon Knights are the ones in-charge of Lord Huxley's arrest. Rest assured, I will make sure that the count won't be able to escape, Duke Nystrom."

He nodded. "Thank you, Captain Sherwood."

Captain Sherwood smiled brightly as if he was really happy by what he said. "Anything for you, my lord."

God, that made his skin crawl.

Captain Denver cleared his throat loudly to get their attention before he spoke. "Captain Sherwood, do I need to come with you now to give my statement?"

"Ah, yes," Captain Sherwood said as if he just remembered the real purpose of his visit at the Fire Wielders' tower. "You must come with us, Captain Denver. If you want, you can bring as many witnesses as you need."

"Alright," Captain Denver said. "We'll follow behind your troop."

Captain Sherwood nodded. "I'll wait until you're ready to leave, Captain Denver."

"Then, please excuse us," Captain Denver said before he turned to her. "Duke Nystrom, can you accompany me to Lady Nystrom's doctor? She's one of the witnesses and I would like to ask if she'd like to give her statement."

Lisa nodded eagerly. The way Captain Sherwood looked at him was making him want to run away from him as soon as possible. "Of course, Captain Denver."

After politely excusing themselves, they went back inside the tower.

Only then did Lisa was able to breathe comfortably.

Captain Denver chuckled when he saw his expression. "Captain Sherwood made you uncomfortable, didn't he?"

Lisa turned to him in surprise. "You knew?"

"You're easy to read, Your Grace."

Okay, he was touched.

And he felt ashamed of himself.

He never knew he was the possessive and overprotective type until he met Irene. Thus, he still didn't know how to control his emotions. But thanks to his wife, he was starting to learn how to be emotionally more mature.

"Thank you, Captain Denver," Lisa said sincerely. "Did you just say that you need Miss Luna's cooperation to get me away from Captain Sherwood?"

Captain Denver nodded. "Yes," he said. "Miss Luna is Lady Nystrom's doctor. I have no intention of exposing her to the enemies. Aside from that, Miss Luna is a special witch because of her pink eyes. I don't want the greedy higher nobles to get interested in her ability."
