“You didn’t have to follow if you were going to end up like this.”

Kai softly tells you, looking at you with with evident concern

He knows you don’t like loud places, still, you decided to stay with him during the ball. but he also knows you take the position as his knight very seriously. He knows you’re too stubborn to leave so, he calls a butler and hands you a glass of water.

“If I didn’t know any better I’d say you’re following me around.”

Of course you’re following him. That’s your job.
