Bab 533: The Berry Grove    

Was he going to share the night with the Princess under one roof?

Definitely not!

If he didn't have Evie, he might have reconsider. Still, his love for her and his responsibility as his partner wouldn't allow him to act or even think of jeopardizing her relationship with her.

Even in a fictional world.

"What's wrong?" Elena asked Ren when the latter went quiet.

"Nothing," Ren answered, too sudden for his liking. "Let's go and clear this quest." So we don't have to spend the night here. Ren wanted to add but restrained himself.

Talking to the villagers eventually led them to the directions of the berry grove nearby.

As they went that way, the sound of the waves crashing against the sand filled Ren's ears. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, letting the salty sea air fill his lungs.

As he exhaled, memories flooded his mind.
