Chapter 391: His Difficulty and Solution?
"I’m good, all good. There is nothing more I could hope for. My cultivation is also progressing much faster than it did in my sect, which makes me wonder about the reason. All in all, it’s going well," Baek Jimin answered with a soft smile.
Aldrian also smiled and took a sip of the tea prepared by the maids in the mansion. Some of the women he had saved a few days ago were, in fact, former maids of this mansion before the city’s fall. Not only maids but also female knights who had served in the mayor’s forces and female denizens who had caught the interest of the Marquess Parus’s soldiers.
After he rescued them, they soon learned what had happened and felt grateful to him. The maids wished to continue working here to assist him, and he gladly accepted them, as they could help maintain the mansion.
"Do you have anything you want to do while we still have free time here before the second prince’s forces arrive?" Aldrian asked her.
Although he could sense that her negative emotions had subsided greatly unlike when they were still in the Doria Empire, he could still feel that something lingered in Baek Jimin’s heart, something that remained unresolved. He suspected it was a desire she had kept to herself.
Baek Jimin seemed to be lost in thought as she watched Sylphia, who appeared indifferent to their conversation and was happily strolling through the garden. After a few moments, she finally turned to Aldrian.
"Then... can you accompany me for a walk? I mean, to visit some places to relax? Just the two of us?" she asked, but then blushed and lowered her head.
Aldrian was stunned and kept looking at the shy Baek Jimin. He then sent a voice transmission to Sylphia.
"My love, Jimin wants me to accompany her for a walk. What do you think?"
Sylphia, still busy interacting with the plants in the garden, was momentarily surprised but quickly responded without looking at him.
"Go ahead, dear. Just accompany her, she needs some fresh air, after all."
