"Sorry, I failed to protect you."

Aerithas Fenlir said this with a disappointed tone, mostly to himself. He had let you get injured during the fight with the ogres, a mistake he couldn't forgive himself for. How could he have allowed his little human knight to be harmed..?

He gently dabbed your wound with a small cloth, being extra careful not to cause you more pain.

He had always been in love with you, but fear of rejection held him back. He knew how difficult it was to be a human knight without magic. But still, only you could make him feel this way.
