"You sure you don't mind getting in trouble with me?"
Elise giggled as she walked backwards staring at Felix."I thought we were supposed to be back before dinner to meet my dear father in his office. But, it's kinda past dinner time."
"Meh! I'm an assassin working as a part-time bodyguard. What will they do to me? Just have fun."
"Okay."
Elise strolled through the lively night market with Felix beside her, the sights and sounds swirling around them like a whirlwind of colors and smells.
Lanterns hung overhead, casting a warm golden glow on the bustling street, while vendors shouted, trying to attract attention to their stalls. The scents of fried snacks and sweet treats filled the air, making her stomach rumble.
"So, what do you want to eat first?" Felix asked, his hands still shoved into his pockets, his tone casual as if they hadn't just sneaked out from the castle.
