King's Disguise, Northern Gate

"Emi?" Ban asked after seeing Emelia emerge from behind the attic's door. 

Hearing him, Emelia was taken aback. She put her hand on her chest as she said, "Ban, you surprised me right there." 

"Why are you here?" He asked as he pulled her back inside the room. 

Emelia willingly allowed him to pull her as they sat down on the bed. 

"Well, you were gone for a long time and I thought you had already finished taking a shower so I came downstairs. However, Grandpa Kuys informed me that you haven't come down yet so I came here to check but you weren't here so I was about to go downstairs to inform Grandpa Kuys about it, and then you know the rest." She said with a shrug. 

"Anyways, what took you so long?" She asked, after realizing he had just gone out of the shower considering the towel wrapped on his lower body. 

Speaking of that, a rosy color suddenly painted Emelia's face. 

She turned her head away from Ban, clearly embarrassed.
