Bab 126: Her Will (R-18)

Jirawut and Namie with Makayla enjoy spending their time together at riverside inns and visiting different cities along the coast. They travel by carriage or boat, spending most of their nights enjoying each other's company. 

They have become a part of the community, going to the markets and joining groups of people who gather on the riverbank to listen to musicians play music in the evenings. 

One evening, while having dinner at an inn near the riverbank, they hear the sound of drums from the street. Curious, they leave the restaurant and follow the sound. 

"Where are we going?" Namie asks Jirawut. 

He shrugs. "It sounds like fun." 

They walk for several minutes, listening to the rhythmic beat of the drummers' feet. Finally, they arrive at a large open square where hundreds of people are gathered.
