The trio of Lex, Aoi and the princess ran for quite a while before they finally approached the heirs quarters. Before closing in, the princess stopped and fixed her clothes and appearance and turned to glance at Aoi. That's when she noticed that Lex was there as well.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, startled at the sight of him.
"Didn't you ask me to follow you before you started running?" Lex responded innocently. At the same time, he looked around. He had prepared a few items which could create decoys of himself for when the princess would eventually be stopped, and he would have had to make a quick getaway. But that never happened.
For those that don't know, there is going to be a mass release on the 19th of December. I am currently building up the stock for that. I have a few more surprises in stored for everyone in January, so you better enjoy them all because I hate it when I give myself more work. :)
