- Frey Starlight's Pov -
A day had passed since I officially made Carmen my subordinate.
Everything remained the same—no surprises, nothing out of the ordinary.
My fellow temple trainees were all immersed in their own training, each striving to grow stronger.
Frost was as brutal as ever, but I could no longer read any emotion from him. He was like an executioner—arriving to beat me senseless before leaving without a word.
I wanted to let loose, to push myself into a real fight against him, but I knew my chances were slim.
Still, this kind of calm never sat well with me. It always concealed raging storms beneath the surface.
And that led me to the one thing that had been weighing on my mind—Ada hadn't shown up for an entire day.
I knew she was capable. She could handle herself. But her recent actions, coupled with the fact that she was clearly planning something, made me uneasy.
Especially since she was doing it for me.
