An hour later…
It was already evening, and I wanted to return to the Zu residence. But it seems Zu objected to this wish of mine.
"You don't want to accompany me to the end, Miss?" he asked sadly.
"Sorry, Prince. I want to rest. I'll just wait at your house, okay?" I smiled at him.
I know Zu worries about me if I'm alone at his residence. But, I was sleepy after eating a lot earlier. Moreover, I want to let Zu be with the princess first. It seemed she had something to say to Zu. But because of me, the princess endured it.
"You want me to drop you off?" he asked as he walked with me out of the pavilion.
"No need, Prince. I can ride a horse. Can I borrow your horse?" I asked, holding out my hand.
Zu nodded. He asked the soldiers on guard nearby to get his horse. I said goodbye to the princess myself.
"Sorry, Princess Mine. I'm sorry." I said goodbye and smiled at the girl.
