Bab 206: Ladies First

Holding onto Ri's hand, Dyon flashed into the castle.

Ri looked around stunned. "We're… this is the castle… How?..."

Suddenly, Ri blushed, realizing she was holding onto Dyon's hand too tightly and went to let go. But, Dyon's grip was firm.

"Don't let go. I'm not sure what'll happen if you're not connected to me. Remember, the words in the sky are the only reason we can be here… if the elders can't handle it, I don't want to think about what would happen to you if you let go."

Ri froze. Dyon was right. But, she felt an odd feeling holding onto his hand like this. But, that feeling disappeared when she heard the next thing Dyon said.

"Your hand is to dainty and small," Dyon kneaded it playfully, "so soft. Bringing you along is definitely worth it."

Ri rolled her eyes, but still didn't dare let go of Dyon's hand. Instead, she flicked his forehead with her other one. Why couldn't he be serious for once? He had completely overcorrected from that angsty teen he was not long ago.
