Chapter 332: Not welcomed (3)
"You seem to be enjoying this trip more than everyone. Laughing at yourself for almost falling," Rafael said. He worked on picking out the pieces of leaves that were sticking to the bottom of her dress. "The bottom of your dress is torn. We will need to find a tailor to get it fixed or just get a new dress."
"My mother said you would be like this. When we get to town, I will look for work-"
"Why?" Rafael asked, not seeing the reason for her to work when he would take care of her. She and her guards since it would be hard for them to get work once it is known who they are. "I have money to take care of you."
"Sitting around doing nothing does not suit me. I will get restless," Annalise answered.
"You can join the knights out on the training grounds. Find a new hobby. You don’t need to work, Annalise. Besides, you forget how hard it will be at first to find work if it is known who you are. You won’t be getting your job back at the manor so don’t think about it," Rafael quickly added when she opened her mouth. "I won’t stop caring for you if we are arguing with each other."
"You say that now, but what you feel can change. I would still need something to do so I don’t get bored during the day. It is not like you will be free to entertain me. You have to go back to training the knights and dealing with the palace. Unless you would like to trade places? I become the commander, and you sit around at home," Annalise suggested, liking this idea more. She could bring in the money while Rafael stayed at home.
She used a finger to poke at his right cheek just to bother him.
"That is not going to happen," Rafael replied. "I’m sure you will find something to do. You can spend your time putting together the room for your pet and making sure there is no way for it to sneak outside. You can also spend your time showing your guards around."
"What will I do when the money I have now runs out and I want to buy many things? Will you let me buy everything that I want? Spend days going around town shopping?" Annalise asked, sitting up to be at the same level as him.
