Agnes walked out of the patrol station with slow, unsteady steps, her eyes staring blankly ahead.
It was as though only her body had left the building while her mind remained behind, still trying to process everything that had just happened.
Suddenly, her foot misstepped. Her ankle wobbled, and her body tilted dangerously to the side.
Before she could fall, a large arm quickly swept around her waist, catching and steadying her.
Agnes turned, her eyes widening in alarm when she found Luke standing dangerously close, one arm still around her.
Behind them stood Kyren, Noah, Eric and Rafe, all witnessing the scene.
"Let go of me!" she shouted, immediately pushing the knight away.
Luke released her at once.
Agnes straightened herself, quickly fixing her posture and brushing down her clothes as though trying to regain whatever dignity she had left.
"Hey, don't be so hostile," the knight said with a slight sneer. "I was just helping. You were about to fall."
