Just being the Duke wasn’t enough?

We had to set up camp in an open field and there weren't any trees nearby. The closest one was at least three kilometers away. And when I asked about whether we could fly there, Dick only had one answer. "We'll have to wait for half an hour either way, so there's no point."

It would have been fine if this damn place wasn't boiling like that dessert we'd crossed before with the geezer and Jowy. 

The heat wasn't the problem though. It was the humidity. 

Back then I did have loads of dreams though. And lately, I was getting some nightmares too. Come to think of it, whenever I slept near Alisa I got nightmares. Last night I didn't though, since I was with Lianne and definitely away from Alisa.

I looked over towards Alisa and she just moved her head with a 'hmph'.

I guess for some reason she was angry with me. Unfortunately, I didn't care all that much.
