Kapitel 171: Above The Clouds

Ember was excitedly running towards the slope where Morpheus was waiting for her. She was happy that she could go outside today instead of just staying inside the palace. Now that she'd thought of it, ever since she returned from Ronan after being given citizenship by the council, she hadn't been able to step outside again.

She stood in front of the winged man with bright eyes. "Are we going to leave now? Where are we going?"

Morpheus stared at her for a moment, both amused and bothered to see how much she trusted him. She didn't even think twice before saying yes to going out with him. 

'Is she so naive to trust any person who showed goodwill to her? Though she knows me, why does she trust me this much? Is it because I called her my friend? Is being a friend that special to her?'

"Morph?" she called him, seeing him not answering her. She was completely oblivious of why he's approaching her in the first place.
