Chapter 48 - Ice Breaker

Akirexer offered Quix a seat beside her. Akirexer started to whistle a tune to herself while Quix got comfortable. Her whistling puzzled him.

Quix was amazed with how calm and collected Akirexer was. Normally women would either throw themselves at him or tremble in his presence. Akirexer, however, wasn't moved by his rank. Or at least she seemed not to be.

"You and her highness seem to be close." Quix politely began.

"Closer than you ever imagine." Akirexer smiled at him.

Quix peeled his eyes off her and faced front in thought. "I think I have an idea considering that you aren't in uniform and are wearing her highness' coat." Quix replied, ever so calm but a tad bit suspicious.

"What are you on about?" Akirexer asked him, carefully studying his face.
