Chapter 76: Capital

Rise neither asks how Kamille found him nor why he picked him up. Those did not really matter. 

Instead, he grinned widely and reached out with his hand, like a kid wanting to be picked up. 

Kamille readily took his hand. Rise immediately buried his face in Kamille's chest and embraced him. He closed his eyes and breathed in the familiar scent he had missed for a couple of days. 

"We'll leave tomorrow," Kamille let Rise embrace him as the wind gathered around their feet, in no time at all, they were already flying in the air. 

Rise nodded, not letting go of Kamille, nor did he intend to. 

He could feel Kamille's calm heartbeats and the warmth they always exuded, relaxing and immediately calming all his anxious nerves. 

Rise always felt that Kamille's presence instantly washed away his uncertainties, making him more confident about the future path he wanted to take. It was comforting, to say the least.
