Esmeray stood frozen, staring at Ethan’s unconscious body.
His breath was ragged, his fingers twitching slightly as if he was still trapped in the nightmare.
She had felt it—the intrusion into her memories.
At first, she was furious.
Her mind was her last sanctuary. Where she had kept her fear and her broken side hidden. No one was supposed to access it.
But then ... she saw something. Fragments of him.
A young boy, spoiled yet affectionate.
A noble, surrounded by warmth, raised with love so deep it was suffocating.
A childhood she would have killed for.
Esmeray clenched her fists while looking at him.
‘How can he be so selfless yet so selfish at the same time?’
She hadn’t seen all of his life, but the glimpses were enough to form a picture.
Ethan gave generously. He loves to give.
But only with things he didn’t mind losing.
Resources? Power? Protection? He would give without hesitation. He would have more.
But when it came to women? His greedy and lustful side comes out.
Tsk.
Esmeray clicked her tongue, but her lips curled into a small, amused smile.
She had spent a million years trapped. She should have been filled with resentment.
But instead...
She felt free.
The weight that had crushed her for eons had lifted.
Because he is shouldering it with her.
The burden in her psyche is way less than before.
‘You fool,’ she thought, gazing at his sleeping face.
‘You have no idea what you’ve done, do you?’
He had proven his selflessness to her in a way she could never repay.
So, she made a promise to herself.
Silently.
A vow that bound her soul tighter than any barrier ever could.
She would protect him.
Not from death—Ethan could handle himself.
But from the Tower.
From the corruption that lurked in the shadows, waiting to twist his kindness into a weapon.
From the women who would see him as a tool to be used and discarded.
And as if waiting for this, the barrier shattered. The barrier that trapped her for so long ... shattered so easily.
Esmeray’s eyes widened.
She was now free, physically and mentally.
Her gaze drifted back to Ethan.
‘You have to take responsibility for me now, you reckless idiot.’
With that thought, she crouched beside him, watching over him as he slept.
...
A splitting headache greeted Ethan as he stirred back to consciousness.
“Fuck ... never again,” he groaned, shuddering at the memory.
“Mister! Mister!! You are awake!”
A tiny body crashed into him.
Ethan blinked, his vision clearing enough to see Anita’s golden eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
He mustered a weak smile, his hand ruffling her hair.
“Shh ... I’m awake now. It’s over.”
Anita sniffled but grinned brightly.
“You were asleep for hours, Mister! Anita was so worried!”
Before he could respond, a smooth voice interrupted.
“You’re awake.”
Ethan turned to see Esmeray.
Unlike before, there was no frustration and playfulness in her eyes.
Only something deep. Unreadable.
“And I see you’re free from your barrier,” Ethan said, stretching his sore limbs.
“Thanks to you,” she replied, her voice softer than he expected.
Then, she did something that caught him off guard.
