'Oh, that's right. I still haven't thanked His Highness,' Dahlia suddenly realised, so she swiftly bowed before him to thank him, but she suddenly felt Orion's hand on her chin as he slowly lifted her head so her gaze could meet his.
Dahlia was left speechless and she was even more surprised when she noticed how close he was to her face at that moment. She could still feel his fingers as he lifted her chin and her cheeks reddened instantly when she noticed that he was leaning closer to her.
"Did you have fun with your new friends?" Orion asked and his question caught Dahlia by surprise.
"Y-yes, Your Highness."
"So, how does it feel to have friends who are elves just like you?"
"I-it feels nice," Dahlia stumbled over a reply, but she had a smile on her face. She recalled all the fun she'd had with the girls and how they quickly had become close.
