"Sorry, anything but that," Zack instantly rejected them, sounding apologetic. "I am delivering these stack of hays to my customer."
"Will you be passing anywhere nearby to Aoi then?" Cecil questioned.
Zack shook his head. "I am going in a completely different direction."
Cecil was distressed.
Hana pouted sadly.
K'xug thought about all the walking they had to do, his aching body not helping him.
Xue remained indifferent.
All of a sudden, recognition flitted past Zack's eyes and he gasped, reaching forward and grasping Cecil by the shoulder, his wrinkled face glowing in excitement.
"Aren't you the daughter of the Lan family in Aoi?!"
Cecil blinked in surprise, nodding slowly. "Yes, I am Cecil Lan."
Zack's eyes then drifted to Hana, and he felt his body trembling in excitement.
It isn't only the daughter of the Lan family, but the daughter of the Katae family too!
I...I hit the jackpot!
