Not Being Yourself

India, July 30th 1801

Before the carriage departed, Lukas turned away from Lakshmi, and sat with a formal posture.

Right after that, the carriage departed.

After a few seconds Aesha turned her head to Lukas and smiled. "Don't worry, "Luka," the carriage driver also knows who you are," she said.

Lukas then finally took a deep breath out of relief as his body relaxed completely.

Aesha chuckled with Lukas's reaction. "Was it hard?" she asked.

Lukas then nodded his head. "You bet," he said. "Not much when it comes to plan devising, but it was mentally exhausting," the blonde boy added.

Aesha then nodded her head in understanding. "Yes, I know what you mean. Not being yourself is really exhausting on many levels," she said.

Lukas then nodded his head while sighing. "Can I take my wig off?" he asked.

Aesha then nodded her head. "Feel comfortable," she said with a smile.
