章節 65: There’s something called a heads-up, but our Lord doesn't know that, apparently...

There was a difference between knowing 'oh, I'll live there someday' and 'oh, we're going there now?' and it was apparent in my dazed expression as I stared at Natha blankly.

He caressed my hair and answered with a smile. "Mm, right now. Doesn't have to be long," he paused while tucking the hair blown by the wind behind my ear. "Just a night is fine. How about it?"

"Oh..." I blinked to ponder about it. So it was kind of like his weekly visit, just that I would be the one visiting there. Perhaps he just wanted to see if I found it okay there. "So...like a trial?"

"We can call it that," and then he leaned down, not toward me, but to talk to Jade. "Unfortunately, the little bird had to stay."

"Do we depart now?" I asked curiously.
