Kapitel 65: The Most Comfortable Ride

Xenia was still not herself when she and Jayra joined the others to prepare for their journey.

"Remember to act cool," Jayra reminded her. "You look like a guilty criminal right now." 

Xenia almost answered her friend when Darius came to them. Pulling a horse by its reins, he gave the two a nod as Xenia let out a small sigh.

"Get on my horse, Xen," Darius said the moment he stopped in front of them.

"But I can ride a horse on my own," Xenia reasoned with a frown. It felt like a repeated scene, and of course, Darius plainly gave her the same look that he always did whenever it happened. 

He obviously wouldn't take no for an answer, so Xenia let out another sigh as she mounted on the horse without saying much. There was no use in debating anyway. Besides, she didn't want to make a scene in front of other people.
