Left with no choice, Maeve dragged Aeolian into the woods by the side of the road. They used the dense foliage as cover to delay the kidnappers from catching up.

Aeolian was well aware of their current situation. She did not want to be captured by the kidnappers and be sold to the underground city as a plaything, so she followed Maeve and ran as fast as she could. Maeve was not worried that Acolian would drag her down or play any tricks. If she dared to do so, Maeve would abandon her.

In a life-and-death situation, Maeve did not have the heart of aint to protect someone who had once tried to harm her.

Fortunately, Aeolian behaved well along the way.

However, they had to come up with something else aside from running endlessly. When their stamina was exhausted, the kidnappers would catch up to them eventually.

Maeve decisively jumped down a slope. Then, she turned around and saw Acolian standing on top of the slope with a terrified expression. Maeve urged, Jump! What are you dawdling for?" "No." Aeolian's face turned pale as she confessed. "I'm afraid of heights!"

"It's only six feet. How is this considered high? Maeve was extremely annoyed. She threatened, "If you don't jump now, I'll leave on my own. You only have yourself to blame if you get caught." Aeolian thought that Maeve was just scaring her on purpose. After all, she was a member of the Soar family. She figured Maeve would treat her nicely because of her identity.

To Aeolian's dismay, Maeve really tutased around and left when she saw Aeolian hesitate.

"Wait!" Aeolian called out to Maeve anxiously. Finally, she overcame her fear and jumped down with her eyes closed.

Maeve heard Aeolian's voice and frowned. She turned back and fted Aeolian up from the ground while urging, "Stop wasting time. Run quickly."

Acolian could briefly smell the fragrance of roses coming from Maeve when she grabbed her. However, the fragrance was brief since Maeve let go of her almost immediately.

Acolian's legs were still weak, but she did not want to look weak in front of Maeve. She braced herself and followed Maeve
