♔ – White King — What is the biggest sacrifice you’ve made? from akumazoku-emberfury
Bella thumbed the note mindlessly, and she leaned back in her chair. Biggest? Longest? Oldest? Most expensive? She couldn't find a straight answer, at least, until she thought a little harder.
"I've spent too long in a place I've never called home," she admitted, placing a pen in her mouth, chewing the end anxiously. She pulled it out only to speak. "This place has been my prison, and even though I'm starting to like the city, I feel it's more like me convincing myself, 'Oh, it's not that bad,' when it really is."I'd think my heaviest sacrifice is serving the Knights, and yes, I know I complain about them all the time, but it's either me or other shopkeeps, and they don't deserve it. I honestly don't mind bookkeeping, but laundring and shipping and smithing and kicking people's asses isn't my thought of fun. It's becoming increasingly tiring, the upkeep, and Light only knows how long I can continue."
Bella sighed, stilling her pen-chewing. She doodled something down to relax her heart rate.
