章 111: 111: The forest

It was getting late, and the sun outside had begun to set. 

Sui's thing felt hot and numb, and she sat rigidly in the carriage while the princess continued using her.

It was not uncomfortable, but Sui felt tense to have the princess's head touch her lap this intimately.

'Don't overthink it, Sui. The more you think, the worse the situation will seem. Just think of yourself as a doll that the princess is using.'

Sui could not imagine the princess playing with dolls, even as a kid. And thinking of herself as a doll made Sui choke in regret.

Ultimately, Sui decided to look outside the window and forget about the princess occupying her lap. 

That was when she noticed how late it had gotten already.

The sun had already disappeared down the horizon, and the moon was barely in the sky. The road was barely lit enough to notice where they were going.
