THE NORTH

"Everyone is busy…" Leticia thought so. 

And so, she decided to sit in front of the fire. Suddenly, a cape was put on her shoulder. And as she looked up, she saw Austin.

"It's cold, milady."

"Oh, thank you, Sir Austin."

"Are you bored or tired?" Austin asked as he sat down parallel to her.

"I'm not…" Leticia smiled. 

Because she knew that Austin was looking out for her. Though it's true that she's tired, not because of the trip but because of the two people who mentally exhausted her.

And boredom as Nina and the others won't let her even hold a knife and help them cook for the dinner. 

Still, she won't admit it to Austin. Leticia doesn't want to complain about such simple things.

"Don't worry, milady. The Duke will be here in a minute, he was just securing the area."

"I see. How about you, Sir Austin? Aren't you supposed to be with Hugh when doing these things?"
