@Xerozen She wouldn't have started to climb down if she was scared and afraid. Obviously she would have felt more safe up in the tree, not down on the ground in the company of those dudes she would be afraid of.
Ok so she has been living in the woods climbing trees for years and NOW she just suddenly falls so a Bishi Bitch BoyTM can catch her? Me thinks that contrived cliche is contrived.
@InfiniteParadox Right? Just from that, I bet the Emperor is gonna learn to be a loving father and MC will grow to love him and all that stuff. But hopefully this story will surprise me.
