One Last Prank 

William and Cathy talked about many things. 

But, most of them were about the present. 

The Virtuous Lady of Hope listened to the Half-Elf's worries, so that he could unload the uneasiness in his heart. When everything was done, the two went to take a bath together so that he could cool himself and relax.

"Feeling better?" Cathy asked as she wrapped her arms around William's neck.

"A lot better," William replied. "Thank you, Cathy."

Whenever he was with Cathy, William found a sort of peace that was hard to describe. Perhaps it was because of her Divinity that represented Hope, the Half-Elf could instinctively feel that even though the future was filled with hardships, a chance still existed.

"Mmm," Cathy pressed her lips over William's as the latter wrapped his arms around her body.
