[Bonus chapter] Lucas

Throughout the journey to Central Saion, Kaizan and Olivia were silent and the silence between them was awkward as each was embroiled in their thoughts of the previous night or what was about to come next. And Olivia knew that if she opened her mouth, only butterflies would come out of it. So, she focused on Butterfly's rolling gait and looked at the tiny houses or business establishments of Silver Vales as snow crunched beneath the hooves of the horse and morning sunlight spread its golden petals in the skies. 

There were not many people out this early in the morning but whoever was there, their gazes were fixed on the horse that carried their General and his wife. Olivia thought that this wasn't the right way of being introduced because she could feel their baleful glares at her. She shifted in her place, but Kaizan's arms around her waist became tighter. He pulled her closer to his chest and let them all see it.
