Chapter 78
Jane curled her lips into an even deeper smile as I continued staring at her in silence.
It was as if she was silently shouting, "I’m really fine!"
"You’re the one who wanted to come to the festival. I’ll stay, so you should go and enjoy yourself."
I meant it. I wasn’t the one excited about the festival—Jane was. So it only made sense that the person looking forward to it should be the one to explore.
But despite my sincerity, Jane reacted as if she had heard something outrageous, shaking her head furiously in refusal.
"Oh no, my lady, absolutely not! Once Priest Ian finishes treating the injured, I can look around with him. You don’t ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) need to worry about us—just go and enjoy yourself!"
She waved me off with a small hand gesture.
What’s this? Was she asking me to lower my head?
I tilted my head in confusion before stepping closer and slightly bending my knees.
Apparently, I had interpreted it correctly. Jane smiled at me from our newly evened eye level and whispered softly.
"Honestly, my lady, you don’t get many chances to enjoy a festival like this. Since you're here, you should make the most of it."
Ah. You little fox.
