The afternoon at the palace…
I was escorted by Rain to my private room past the palace gazebo. However, before arriving at the pavilion, I saw Cloud staring intently at us from the middle of the garden.
It looks like I've made a mistake.
At the same time, Rain immediately grabbed my left hand. I walked to his right while looking down, trying to take my eyes off Cloud. I know that what I'm doing is useless. Cloud immediately walked to me.
"Ara, where are you from?" he asked, stopping us.
"Ara is out of my mansion, she's resting there." Rain answered Cloud.
I felt the atmosphere turn tense when Rain answered his brother's question.
"It's still working hours, why should it be at your place?" Cloud asked Rain.
"Um, sorry. It is my fault. I-"
"I asked for it." Rain again answered Cloud.
Cloud seemed to swallow his saliva. He seemed at a loss for words. Cloud then held my right hand.
