Their journey back home after that big fight that ended up in tears was quiet. Even though they all shared the same carriage it was one of those times that exhaustion took over them and no one was in the mood to chat. Allias was happy about that, he didn't want to answer any questions about what happened in that house or about the curse. For now he only wanted to focus on the fact that Mark was going to return in just a few days and he would be able to get his friend back. He looked outside the carriage's window when they passed through the main village and Ares drive towards the palace. There were a few people out on the streets but their faces were tired, blank as they walked around, making Allias' heart heavy.
"Have I neglected the kingdom?" He asked, mostly himself but he ended up saying it out loud.
