Bab 411: Escort (7)

We just spent another hour sitting there by the fire.

During this, the princess slowly moved closer and closer to me until she was sitting right beside me.

I had tried moving away at first, but then the butler appeared beside me.

He was taking care of the fire, but it wasn't as if he couldn't do that from the other side of the fire. He chose to sit down right beside me so that I couldn't move as he took care of the fire.

So I had no choice but to let the princess come closer until she was sitting right beside me.

It felt very awkward since she didn't say a single thing…

Not to mention, I couldn't even see her expression because of the cloak, so I had no idea what she was even thinking…

Only when she was satisfied did the princess stand up and head to the carriage.

With that, the butler started cleaning everything up and we were heading back to the city.
