Yume’s heart sank deep into her chest as she spotted Flame at the top of the floating ship that the Cindercrest were using to head toward Spawn.
Before all of this happened, King Parrot had sent Yume, Theo, and Reina to check if the Cindercrest were really approaching Spawn to attack. The three of them were among the most skilled in the new team King Parrot was forming. Reina had proven herself by using her intelligence instead of hiding in fear. Theo was already known for his skill. And Yume… she had always been a solo fighter somehow convinced by the King of Unstable to join his team since she didn’t see anything wrong with it.
She was also known as Flame’s beloved crush—though “lover” would describe it better. Flame always protected her even when she didn’t need it.
So yes… it hurt when she saw him helping the Cindercrest.
Theo and Reina quickly hid while Yume remained standing there in the snow and ice, staring up at the floating ship in disbelief. Theo had accidentally dropped a bucket of water that streamed all the way down toward the path the Cindercrest were marching on. It caught the attention of two people, who immediately looked up toward where Theo had dropped it.
But Yume didn’t move.
She just kept staring upward.
“HEY YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?” one of them yelled before realizing who she was and backing away slightly.
Yume ignored them, still lost in thought as she looked at Flame. A painful ache spread through her chest at the thought of fighting against him.
It felt like betrayal.
