Chapter 79 - 13: The Dreamy Night
It was a whole day before Gray embarked on the road back to the Lion King Palace, as night began to fall.
The silver moon hung high in the sky, with white-gray clouds drifting about, and the northern stars faintly visible.
Lights were on in every household. The streets, bustling by day, had turned cold and deserted, while each home grew warm once more.
Gray rode his horse side-by-side with the King’s carriage. Or rather, the King’s carriage chased after his horse.
Yes, chased.
The King’s face was rather unpleasant, "Did I just offend him?"
"Probably... not."
"Then why isn’t he saying a word or acknowledging me? He was quite happy in the theater just now!"
"Well... Your Majesty, maybe, Holy Knights just have that kind of personality?"
The scene was quite awkward, as Gray seemed entirely unconcerned about the King’s carriage traveling beside him. Sometimes with a single twist at a corner, he’d block the King’s path entirely. This kept the King’s coachman busy and exhausted the guards following them.
At the moment, the King had no idea that a fierce argument was happening inside Gray’s mind.
