บท 498: Meeting the Other Soldiers

With Jona tightly holding Drake's arm for 'support', they walked towards the General's abode.

"Is this necessary?" He whispered, and Jona pouted cutely in response.

"Honey, if you don't want to carry me…" 

He sighed awkwardly, moving and following Vanessa to their destination. It didn't help that Vanessa was talking along his other side, except at about half a meter distance, so Drake's attention was taken away from Jona again. 

When Vanessa wasn't being obsessed with Garan, she was actually quite nice to talk with and a little charming. Drake appreciated that she kept his distance and kept their chatter on-topic. 

For instance, she would tell him more about the current state of things like what they had been doing so far (like clearing up the mobs that attacked). She also gave a rough estimate of the current forces owned by the lord.
