"WHO TOLD you to come here?" Nero growled. He wasn't angry at Dahlia– he was just upset with the current situation. "I don't need you here, Dahlia."
Dahlia looked quite terrified of his slight outburst, but she still gathered her courage to speak up. "I-I didn't want to be here either, Prince Nero," she said. Her voice trembled a bit, but her eyes were clear. She really didn't want to be there. "But I'm the only one who can rescue you from this place."
"I don't need your help."
"T-then Your Imperial Highness should have come out instead of making everyone worry."
He flinched and almost said "I would if I could," but he just shut his mouth. Because saying that would only prove that Dahlia made a valid point.
[She got me there…]
