Carrying Her In His Arms

When the royal entourage finished their morning preparations, Drayce came back to the room just as one of the female servants was about to bring out the things Seren used on her brief overnight stay in the inn. 

"Greetings, Your Majesty," said the servants as they bowed. 

"You two can leave," Drayce instructed them. 

Seren looked at him in surprise. 'Did he forget I hurt my foot and can't walk on my own? I will need a servant's help to walk.' Seeing both servants leaving in haste, Seren's face became sad. 'It's fine. It will hurt a little but I will manage.' 

The two of them finally alone, Drayce turned towards his queen. Seren was sitting on a chair, clad in comfortable clothes for traveling with her head lowered, looking troubled by something going on in her mind.
