"Uhhh... you even broke the window which I'm assuming that you are fully awake and alive for sure. How do you plan to pay for the damages now?" ZH said, looking up to the broken window then landed on the ground still carrying Mila in his arms. "You got heavy also." ZH held a smile that meant that he was glad for her to come back to him. Waiting so long for her, he felt as though it had been an eternity which made him feel dead inside.
Mila didn't understand why she wasn't even doing anything but allowing ZH to do as he pleased. "How long have I been asleep for?!" Mila tried to get out of his arms all of a sudden, but he would not allow her to go.
"You do not know how long it's been since I've last felt your lively warmth and adorable personality," ZH said, looking at Mila and hugging her closer to his bosom.
"How... long???" Mila didn't want to think that she was asleep for that long when her body already proved some facts of it being longer than she may have expected. 'What has been going on???' Feeling as though her brain would burn with irritation if ZH did not release her soon from his stronghold.
"Six years," ZH said Mila felt her jaw drop looking face to face with him. ZH felt happy that Mila had stopped struggling to try and get out of his arms, but he knew how much shock she was in at the moment.
"S-Six years..."
ZH knew that she would be surprised, but he was happy enough that she was finally awake. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to wake up?" He kept his gaze on her while Mila blinked with a bit of a confused look, but also feeling terrible for making him wait that long.
"Thank you for taking care of me all these years." Mila smiled, kissing his forehead which surprised ZH by a ton with his eyes going wide open. "By the way, where am I?" Completely forgetting that she was no longer a child, looking to him then to the entire place which was not the Mireraweth Kingdom by any chance.
ZH snapped back and remembered that she just woke up and knew nothing about where she was or how she got there in the first place. "This is Zameth kingdom. It is one of the best kingdoms that has a good healer for you." ZH knew that this kingdom was the best place to find a good healer who surpassed the rest at a much younger age.
"I didn't know that you knew the emperor here." Mila thought since she didn't think ZH's home was this far away from her birth kingdom. 'ZH never told me that he lived in this kingdom. Well... he never really spoke much about himself to be exact. I wonder if it's that bad for him to say so.' Thinking about it, she had no idea what ran through his head. Assuming everything was probably too personal to be told to her which made her leave it as it was.
"You can say that." ZH had forgotten that he didn't dress up as a nobility person; he also never told Mila that he was the heir of Zameth's kingdom. 'I do not believe I need to tell her yet. It's still too early for her to know everything about me.' Feeling as though it could harm her mentally, he was not planning to tell her until she grew accustomed to the new kingdom she was in.
"How are my family and friends?!" She then asked, remembering that they were all separated not long after. 'I hope that they are all okay. I cannot let them be captured by the Mireraweth Emperor in any way.'
"They are fine. They've just been waiting for you and hiding since they are likely wanted criminals. If they come here then it means that they would have to come across the Mireraweth territory to get here. Which is not safe in any sort of way. You are asking to be captured at this point." ZH knew that it would be difficult and if they wanted to teleport then they would need enough strong mana to get there. 'The farther the kingdom, the stronger the mana. It is not the safest method to use. Most who do not use it properly tend to die within a few days. Their mana will slowly disappear into thin air making them like any other, then they will pass like they are sleeping.' ZH knew it as well that the Zameth kingdom was known very well for being the only citizens who could use such teleportation spells to get to kingdoms quicker but known to be a deadly spell.
