"This is an alliance that father would never know of."

"I know how to help."

No honey, nahh.

I chuckled nervously.

"Ahaha there's no need, I could just have it bandaged at home." I said.

"U-Uh it would be fast and quick! Like it wasn't there in the first place!" oh no, what the f*ck.

"I have heali---" I cut her off.

"It's reeeaaaly fine, a little blood lost wouldn't hurt no one. I really wouldn't want to bother you" I joked. But her expression were horrified when I mentioned  'blood lost'.

"I-It's no bother at all!" why is she so eager about helping me?!

I have no plans of giving away my first kiss anytime soon. And why the heck would she offer to help? And why---

"Gah!" I jumped back when she leaned in, goodness gracious!

"Ah sorry! It's just--I--uhh..." what the h*ll was that?

"It's fine it's fine." I cleared my throat.

"Haah, it's fine. I'm heading to the capital anyways, so I can just go to a clinic...or something." she nodded, phew. I sighed in relief ...mentally.

"Where are you heading to?" I asked.

"I was on my way to the Capital as well." she said, I tilted my head.

"Without an escort?" she grinned, rubbing the back of her neck. Oh...

"I snuck out." that isn't something I would've thought she could do.

"Oh, errm, that explains the carriage." It has no family insignia.

She smiled cheekily.

"You don't have an escort as well." she said.

I look at her like she was stupid (I'm not sure)

"I'm pretty sure I could take down...hundreds." I spoke, her mouth was agape, is it not believable? I just killed...an entire gang of bandits. I cleared my throat once more.
