Bab 132: Chapter 132

As if he were pulling on the reins of an unruly colt, Riftan wrapped his arm around Maxi's shoulder and led her to the cabin.

"Let me show you our lodgings."

Maxi threw him a glance as she followed him down the stairs. "I-Is it all right for you to leave the deck… before all the horses are led to the stables?"

"The knights will see to that."

The well-oiled passageway glistened. They stopped at the door at the end, and Maxi peered out from behind Riftan to scan the dim room. Though it could not compare to their bedchambers at Calypse Castle, the cabin was still spacious and lavish.

She darted into the room and sat at the edge of the soft bed. Riftan dropped the baggage he had slung over his shoulder with a thud.

"All the sailors are men, which means there won't be any maidservants to wait on you. So tell me if you need anything," he said, removing the cover from the porthole next to the table.

Light streamed in and bathed his face in bright sunlight.
