I want ten!

Chapter 60: I want ten!

Kein's POV

Rose walks with me back into the inn with a sleeping little girl wrapped around her arms.

She kept humming a song I'm not familiar with and pats the little girl's back gently for comfort. "If you're tired I can go ahead and carry her." I told her worriedly because I'm not sure how she's holding up.

Besides, she might be tired from all the traveling that we did.

Rose shakes her head with a smile and holds my hand as we walk together in the streets being eyed by some villagers. I can't exactly blame them because it's two girls holding hands, one being a knight and the other girl carrying some lost child.

"No, not at the moment. Maybe later when I get tired I'll pass her to you so you won't need to worry. I promise." she giggles under the shawl and I smile hearing that sound.

I guess she's in a good mood despite the tiring questions we keep asking the locals just to find this girl's parents. "Why are you giggling like that?" I ask her.
