Chapter 470: Know your enemies so you can avoid them
Like everything good in this world, this private vacation too, had to come to an end.
After spending the last day doing some adventure--and by that, I meant exploring the island too, not just...ahem, playing with stuff--we finally bid our little nice cabin goodbye. This time, I managed to do what I was meant to do before--tidying up the cabin while Natha cooked.
Another list of my ’married life’ had been crossed!
Granted, it was only two times, but...I still did it! Yay! Because, you know...there was no way I could do this in a place with dozens of servants tending to me, right? They would be horrified if I started doing something, even just preparing my own clothes, thinking that I was not satisfied with their service. I once decided to bring some books from the library by myself, and the servants were crying, asking if I was going to sack them since I didn’t call them for help...
Anyway, I did everything I wanted to do and then more. I got to spend time with Natha the whole day--the whole week! Which had never happened before. Even while living together, we had our own activities; Natha with his work, and me with...whatever I had in hand. And once we returned, we’d be back to do our own thing, so...I didn’t think we would have another time when we could be together all the time like this.
Right. That was what a honeymoon was for, right? To give time for us to be together before they started our life as a...ahem, m-married couple?
"It’s kind of sad..." I muttered as we gazed upon the cabin one last time. The lantern had been snuffed, the curtains were drawn.
It was time to say goodbye.
"We’ll come here again some weekend if you want to get away," Natha stroked my shoulder in consolation. "Now, shall we go?"
"Mm...alright," I nodded and turned to hug him. Half so I wouldn’t need to look at the house, and half because we needed to teleport.
The usual black wings enveloped us, and I closed my eyes to wait until we arrived.
