"I wonder if Violet already arrived?" Aries murmured, still sitting on Abel's lap while playing with the tip of his green hair near his nape. She frowned when her eyes met Abel's.

"Don't look at me like that. Where Violet stayed is closer to where we came from. So, it'll take us more travel time than her." She clicked her tongue in annoyance. "I think they left — my brother and Sir Conan. Will you carry me again tonight? Or should we rent an inn to... you know, spend some time with just the two of us?"

His lips curled up, pulling her waist closer against his body. "Should we?"

"I can barely count the times we stopped during this entire journey and we're already in Haimirich." She frowned, a little anxious about getting separated from him. Aries wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head until her nose touched the side of his neck.
