Irene was walking down the hill after she bid the two protagonist goodbye. However, she realises that two of them are still following her behind.
She squint at them. Lucas with his innocent smile, while Arlo who no longer wearing his mask is avoiding her look. Probably because he is only a subordinate, that he could only follows his superior order.
Annoyed, Irene then walks towards them.
"Your holiness, I already bid you goodbye. Why are you still following me?" Irene asks.
"I was just about to ask you, if we could stay at your town to recuperate before we return to our kingdom." Lucas said.
"Why didn't you ask me in the first place?" Irene then retort him back.
"Because you seem to be in a hurry, so we don't dare to interrupt you. We could only follow your lead." Lucas answered back, still with his handsomely bright smile.
The smile that she admired just an hours ago, is only making her feel irritated now.
"I could find a carriage to escort you two for a better hospitality at another town." She then suggested.
"However, I think it's better for us to stay at your town, rather than need to travel far, to recuperate." Lucas said, declining Irene suggestion.
"Your holiness, I'm afraid I will be a terrible host, to bring two distinguished guest to my small underdeveloped town. For I fear, we have a lot of shortcomings." Irene still tries to change Lucas mind, hoping that he might agree for he had probably accustomed to a comfortable circumstances.
"No worries, myself and my guard had serve for the army a long time ago. I'm sure your hospitality a far more agreeable than back then."
With this, Irene could only back down.
"Fine, we still have 30 miles away from my town. Hopefully, we could catch a ride down here." Irene said as she continues her walks.
Lucas let's out a chuckle as he walks. Noticing how annoyed she was from their banters just now even though her face is covered by the handkerchief.
Arlo who is silently following their behind, was shocked. For he rarely saw the holy priest laugh nor smile towards other besides the Crown Prince. He even rarely sees the high priest arguing with anyone. The high priest is known for his kindness and patience. Even though there's people who find trouble with him, he mostly stay quiet and only act accordingly when it is needed. The way he interact with the young lady is too friendly. Probably the holy priest could finally find a worthy friend in her.
Usually, people will try to curry the holy priest favor after knowing his high status. Moreover, he is favoured by the Crown Prince. All of them tried to get on his good side.
And some even tries to assault him for his charming appearance no matter the gender. However, this young lady is indeed different from others. She doesn't even seem to be tempted by the holy priest appearance nor his. She also doesn't want any rewards nor she wants to have anything to do with them. Just now, it can be seen how she impatiently tries to get rid of them.
When observing the two of them, he unconsciously looking at the young lady. Even with her face covered, it can be seen by her eyes that she have an attractive appearance, apart from her shiny grey hair. As she have the same colour hair as the Crown Prince missing fiancée. With that, Arlo becomes more alerted.
As the three of them walking, a carriage could be heard approaching.
Irene gave out a signal towards the carriage with her hand.
The horses stop infront of them.
"What can I do to help?" The older man asks.
"Robert, it's me Irene." Irene said.
"Irene??" Robert take a good looks at Irene, for he is confused with her appearances. As she covers her face. Noticing two gentlemen behind her. He concluded that the reason why. With a good perception, Robert didn't exposed her.
"Oh, Irene....I almost forgot about you. Forgive me for my poor memories."
"It's alright. I need to return back to the town. So I'm hoping you can give us a ride, with two of my acquaintance."
Hearing that, Robert didn't waste time.
"Alright, come on hop on. Hope you find it comfortable."
"Thank you, Robert."
Irene took a sit by Robert side. While the two of them get inside the carriage.
