Chapter 123
“Young Lady, you seem to be in a very good mood today.”
Aiden asked cautiously after scooping a bit of cake from the plate in front of him. I mirrored his movement, taking a small bite of my own dessert and nodding.
“Yeah, we decided to go on a trip.”
“A trip? With your family?”
“Yep. And you’re coming too.”
“...Pardon?”
Aiden blinked in surprise at the unexpected travel plans that now included him.
Of course he was coming. Naturally. Wherever the needle goes, the thread follows, right? He’s my one and only guard knight—of course he has to come.
“You’re coming. So are Jane, Sir Lukas... oh, and Priest Ian. The doctor might get lonely otherwise. Anyway, what do you think? Nice, right?”
Aiden blinked again, then let out a soft puff of laughter and nodded.
His round, pale eyes looked so gentle that I found myself smiling too.
Yes... this is exactly what I wanted. A peaceful moment like this.
