"I heard you had arrived at the palace, so I came to greet you." Zaria's nervousness only grew stronger as she stood before him.
'Calm down. Calm down.'
Perhaps because it was her first time visiting a man at night, she struggled to control her nervousness.
Of course, Ren noticed it.
However, he didn't tease her or make fun of her.
She was a princess, so he believed she was not used to visiting a man's place, especially at night.
"Come in." Ren closed the door once she stepped into his chamber.
The duo didn't sit on the sofa but on the wooden chairs beside it.
'What should I say? Should I ask about Nightshire City's condition? But I said I came to welcome him, so I should avoid bringing up something that might make him sad.'
She fidgeted with her thumbs, twisting and pressing them together in a nervous rhythm without even realizing it.
"I didn't expect our encounter in the forest would lead me to your kingdom," Ren broke the silence.
"Me too." Zaria responded.
