Caspian turned around with a confused expression after seeing Fern's reddened face and Logan's smug face.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU7gUXrpSI
"Is her majesty alright?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFfr8QrWoC
Logan turned around to face him, his expression altered. Fern nodded at Caspian, "I'm---I'm alright, are we to go?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7gU1ED7UE
Caspian hastily nod his head. "This way, we are to go this way,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9a1H4ODIp
Fern run towards Caspian to walk beside him, leaving Logan behind. Caspian only smiled, guessing that the emperor must have done something to her again.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFyzQy1xKj
"How do we find that watcher?" Fern whispered to Caspian. Her mouth was itching to ask it from him since yesterday night but controlled herself.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyONZxRis0
Caspian answered, "We need to go to a place first, your majesty,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtvmCLitWX
"Place? Is that so?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ip4fVcVdz
Caspian smiled. "You do not need to worry about danger, your majesty. Our journey will be alright,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNLgDKK8jI
Fern nodded, gazing at the sky. She hoped so. Fern flinched as she felt a sting gaze behind her so she turned her head, only to see the emperor gazing at her.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IpVddSSfe
What is his problem?
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TWbyPWee3
Fern stick out her tongue to tease him and let out a, "Hmp,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT63O7qqbpl
Logan's eyes widened with shamed and gritted his teeth, asking himself why this person was so childish. But then something once again flashed through his mind.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXkMIh629V
A memory from thirteen years ago.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g3MLDW6kZ
☁︎☁︎☁︎
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIHUIB80kH
A year had passed since the two of them became acquainted with each other. Fern was allowed to go in and out around the empire's palace ever since she met Logan from her place, the Marquess' owned land. She was free to call Logan in his name since he said so, calling him Your Highness was really only an option. Fern was glad that the prince, which is Logan, considered her as a friend. She was glad he met him. She'd got to travel in the carriage far away from the Marquess' place other than the marketplace which is the only place she was allowed to go far.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgVZlMDjXp
"Logan, I'll go back in the Marquess' place tomorrow."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yqTIs2gsO
Logan's eyes widened as Fern informed him, smiling. "I thought it's in the next two days? Why so early? What's the rush? Did something happened?" Fern rubbed her forehead because of Logan's followed up questions.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakfZzlJmCB
"No---nothing happened. It's just that, my grandmother's death anniversary was tomorrow so I needed to head back. I forgot to tell you, I apologize..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9cavDh7f4
Logan looked down, feeling a little gloomy. "I've only got to see you every last week of the month for five days," Logan sighed. "It felt like I'm going to wait for forever again when you leave,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6jvZUWiRo
The beam of the sunlight shone over the swaying white dress of Fern. The meadows danced along with the tress as a strong wind get through the pavilion where they were admiring the wonderful view of the empire's wide lawn filled with flowers and herbs.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUcl0dv2lE
Fern put her arms in her back and smiled as she looked up the sky, telling to him, "You're looking forward for my arrival, you should be happy when I depart too. Logan, Your Highness, know that I will be back here so you wouldn't need to feel that. Do whatever you want so you won't feel bored, and until then, you wouldn't even notice that the time was passing by and I will be here once again."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtYZONEdvB
Logan turned his head at Fern, "It's easy for you to say that, you don't know what I was feeling."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamNPq4P448
Fern snort-laughed. "You pathetic prince!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwW4vX1tTf
Logan's eyebrows furrowed, "What did you just---"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcycYZypBa
"You don't know my sufferings on how I badly wanted to be here all the time, so I could only do is to distract myself all the time! You know, I'm also looking forward being here!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hzvdd5YPB
"But you're happy when you're departing?!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2x1SvNVVf
"Of course," Fern rubbed her forehead once again. "Logan, can't you look to the bright side? Of course I'm happy that I would depart, 'cause I know I would be back here once again!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89d8JESy7q
"Are you---ugh! What's your logic in there? You're really crazy, Fern!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB3VT38NtV
"That I was your guest in here! That I was able to hang around here with you! Can't you see any guests here in the palace came back every month? No! See? Because I'm the only one! So I'm happy to depart!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML06skVH1o
Logan doesn't know what's expression he would going to make by her words, his face could only pale when he remembers her departing.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL74iVAkxCI
What would I do for her to just be here? I kept getting lost when she's not around.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhXIS2kGUP
"Hey, why did you fell silent?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2pB8A8oSD
Logan glanced at her. "Because the way you filtered and tell your words are so obtuse that if I couldn't comprehend it felt like my brain would just burst out of here."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFbiN4XN6J
Fern's teeth gritted and pinched his cheeks.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFmUaq3aYr
"Aw! Ouch! It---it hurts!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIwcjZKqNy
When Fern finally let go, Logan's cheek stinged as Fern stick out her tongue to tease him and let out a "hmp,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP0LkpTXKP
"You're really crazy!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFkMMnjqXK
"Whatever you say about me!" Fern laughed like an old woman. Logan could only caress his cheeks as gently as possible because it hurts so much.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3KXHsXI86
This girl...I swear I'll going to spar her when we grew up!
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5yAXyK4XE
☁︎☁︎☁︎
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxJzsFT6vc
"You're really crazy," Logan muttered, his voice was so low it seemed like he was reminiscing something. Fern could only snort.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHQ7iIQKAR
"Whatever you say about me,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrGhUhqBE1
That phrased was flawless, nothing changed.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa7wPhbVCn
Fern back continued admiring the forest they were walking through. Logan looked away and turned his head to observe around them.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzxEWlq3hL
A series of a loud caw suddenly made them worry, Fern stayed still and looked up. Caspian and Logan became bothered.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxVOWD2wTh
Suddenly, they saw a crow above them that looks like heading to them as Fern smiled. She extended her arms, making Logan grabbed it.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5vqUiFUKZ
"What do you think you're doing?!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLs4azUzTH
Fern stared at his hands on her arm and said, "Your majesty, it's my crow. It came to find me. He's harmless, don't worry."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczs3h1O5mQ
Logan and Caspian's face twisted hearing that.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShK5StAaIr
The bird that resembles death---what the hell?
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pQ3lIK9cg
"Your...Your majesty?" Caspian trembled.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZEHcEayW2
Fern shakes her head, implying that they really don't need to worry.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYIAXqvh5u
The crow's feet gently landed on the empress' arm's sleeve. Fern gazed at Logan as she remembered something.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRi3uidXJu
"Right, your majesty, if I'm not mistaken, you've seen my crow before,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A27DIWlkK
"...where?" Logan's eyebrows furrowed.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjMg5yehpI
"That day, last month, at the Semiramis Village, you've chase him away,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsNvMcfj3k
Logan reddened as he remembered it.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zFcWTzKFb
Semiramis Village. That memory he swore will be forgotten in his mind but it just kept coming back.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpojt5PKjgp
Logan couldn't speak and turned his head away. Caspian astonishingly stared at the black pitch crow. Fern smiled and patted the crow's head.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq11ArHgwn
"His name is Teagan. I secretly have him since I became an empress. The Marquess gifted him to me. He's harmless."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzdz0eWUeu
The Marquess, his grandfather, Marquess Dallas, has taken liking to animals, especially birds. Other nobles seemed to made a rumor about it. The Marquis's place was just at the entrance of the forest, where some kind of exotic and endangered birds live. Fern couldn't argue with them, because it's true.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGtapCKvOr
His grandfather loves birds. Fern knew it, but she never knew the reason why.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQG7XHmP8G
"But...why secretly, your majesty?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFqTXtTa2x
Fern informed him, "You see, I was afraid of his Majesty killing him, I was ready to introduce Teagan to him when we were in the Semiramis Village but...you see...he chased this little one away,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQVJHnsLTQ
Logan's face paled. She's not wrong.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCveefZ0Qe
Caspian awkwardly smiled. "His Majesty is fearful,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifCS2Ra9YV
Fern only smiled looking at Teagan. "You've found me, Teagan. Have you done the task I gave you?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qELH3dNSM
"Caw!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkepNPVYAY
"I see,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkNy5nl3Sl
"Your majesty, what task?" Caspian asked.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCmF0Xs8F1
"Ah, it's about looking all around the empire to see if someone was lurking around and suspicious. The empire's dealing with a hiding serial killer and hasn't been found, it's been a year. It has killed over...a hundred civilians." Fern informed Caspian.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6R2Wv5t33
Caspian's face twisted. "Serial killer---" Caspian saw Fern blinked.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr7pFVRo1j
Logan was the one who spoke, "We've been chasing that person for almost a year, there was no lead of that person's identity." Logan walk between them. "---But now we're dealing with much bigger problem than that. Let's deal with this bigger problem first. Shan't we?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhe1iphBAe
"Caw! Caw!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisn5Q6oBhv
"Teagan, are you answering to his Majesty? Hahaha!" Fern laughed. The next moment she realized it, she shut her mouth. Logan only snorted. "Now, Teagan, is there any suspicious human being lurking around the empire?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqymGxFv2A
The crow shakes his head. "Caw..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVBUjNk6k2
"I understand, I already expected such answer."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtObt8zsDnC
Teagan nodded his head as it tilted his head left and right and flew. Fern's mouth fell slightly open, but then she grinned.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhStsL5UWBM
"Where is he going now, your majesty?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XXb597gxU
Fern smiled. "I think he's desperate to leave that fast, maybe he'll go to his mate."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8z3Jnlx9R
Caspian, once thought of it, beamed. "Her majesty---"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelEkbexSb9
A sudden occurrence cut Caspian off, Logan hurried to grab Fern into his arms and step back away from the appearance of the big snake in front of them.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz8V7M080s
"YOUR MAJESTY!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ1ZwT4RjB
"KILL IT!" Logan shouted furiously, the empress in his arms.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNo4Ig4Wrv
Logan tightly gripped her in his arms, afraid. But what is this feeling he's afraid for?
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fXN6CTrlI
"Your majesty!" Fern shouted, finding ways to breathe.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBPAsvPXJs
"No, stay still! Don't do anything rash!" Logan feared that she might fight with that big snake.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM2FbpnNwB
Fern thought, how could he read my mind?
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaFK87ye7q
"YOUR MAJESTY, I---"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xambFd9RS
"NO, FERN!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLvD5hD6yc
"..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKkBHprNld
Fern...? Fern?! He just called her name!
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwS0KKyYEm
Hearing that, the empress was full of nolgastic memories and astonishment. In the end, she decided not to move because of fear from the emperor.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05uOVa2c3k
Right, she'll stay like this.
