Chapter 750: Going Somewhere
"Prince Rafael." Dora stepped out of the chopper and hurried towards the man standing on the shore before calling out to him. Extending his hand, he quickly took Dora’s hand and led her into the house.
"Princess Isis. I am sorry for inconveniencing you to come all the way here on such short notice."
Dora smiled and shook her head," Every time you call me Isis, it feels like you’re talking to someone else. And I would have blamed you for this unexpected trip, but the view of yuor coastline from the chopper is quite mesmerizing so I’ll let it go this time."
Rafe laughed and shook his head," Then I am thankful to it. Come on inside, I’ve asked the chef to prepare the best of locally available food so that we can have dinner before we get down to business."
Dora rolled her eyes as she walked along Prince Rafe," Well, at least we don’t have to negotiate on an empty stomach. And I am sorry for barging in on your vacation."
Rafael grimaced and pulled out a seat for her before moving to the other side of the table," Don’t worry, this is not actually a vacation. Actually, I am going towards the jungles tomorrow for a meetign with the head of the tribals. There seems to be some kind of unrest here, with some smugglers trying to get to them etc."
"Ahh! Then, is it safe for you here?" Dora asked carefully. She’d heard of the tribal clans of Petrovia. They were the kind one would pray to not run into if they ever found themselves stranded at an island.
Rafe smiled," As safe as can be with the rebellers always lurking..."
Soon, the conversation turned to general matters of national security, etc while the food was served and the two people ate heartily.
