章 99: Stop confusing a girl like me

Kael had returned home late the previous night after a meeting with Kishadel. He'd gone out to hunt, just to relax. When he returned, the girl was already fast asleep. According to Ballister, she was in good shape and health; she didn't cry or ask to be sent back to her family. It was a good thing for Kael. The girl was peaceful and wouldn't be too much of a bother. Though she acted careless at times, she was easy to handle.

In fact, her carelessness often amused him, like when he saw her wake up that morning. He watched her closely from a tree outside, where he had been relaxing, enjoying the moon covered by clouds as dawn slowly welcomed the bright morning. He saw her bright auburn hair floating around the castle like a curious little animal. Kael's eyes followed the girl, wondering what she was searching for, only to realize she wasn't looking for something but trying to do something.
