It has been three days since Alex and others departed toward the capital. They passed through several cities and villages until now nothing noteworthy happened.
Today they were passing through a forest. As usual, Conrad was driving the carriage while Alex and Gracier were inside it, Silveria excused herself saying she had something to do.
While wondering what Silveria was up to, Alex looked out the window to kill the time as the trees of the forest passed by at high speeds.
"Hoo-ahhhhhhhhm!"
Gracier let out a big yawn next to him. She stretched her arms as her mouth fell open. It seemed that she was sleepy.
Soon, the sound of quiet even breaths came out of her body. She had fallen asleep from all the exhaustion.
Suddenly her head fell on Alex's shoulder, spreading her red hair on him.
Alex looked down at her. He couldn't help but smile upon seeing her cute face as she slept.
"Mmm. Mmm-nyaa~!"
