Blinking in bewilderment, Seren finally lowered her head.
Ian tipped one shoulder in a slight shrug. "Still, if there's no other way, let's think of something else."
"That's not necessary. You've already helped me enough."
Knights, I swear.
Contrary to his thoughts, Ian just shrugged again. It seemed like Seren would remain his vassal for a long time. As long as she didn't die in the meantime, they'd cross paths again—one way or another. There would surely come a moment when she could repay her debt.

Ian turned his gaze forward again. Diana was standing on the long ridge. She was looking back at them, making a large circle above her head with both arms.
"Good. I was getting a bit hungry," replying, Ian lightly shook the reins. Moro, as if it had been waiting, sped up.
"For this meal, how about we let Diana prepare it?" Lucia, leaning her back against Ian's chest, suggested casually. "I want to give her a chance to practice her spells. She has enough theory now."
"I don't mind, but why bother? It's just a low-tier spell," Ian answered.
Lucia shrugged. "Diana isn't a natural-born mage like you or me. And until a few days ago, she didn't even have the basics of spell theory down."
