“Whaaaa…” Yaliana said. What she had attempted to ask was, where would you go once you escaped? She had forgotten that she couldn’t talk yet.
“You’re starting to recover!” Ulissa said, sitting up. “Good. I don’t feel quite safe in this cave and would like to move.”
“Moooo…?”
“Yes, move,” Ulissa said with a laugh. “I kind of wish I was a bigger so I could move you easier. But, alas, I’m short.”
Yaliana liked that Ulissa was shorter than her, but she wouldn’t dare say so. Yaliana often wished that she was as smart as Ulissa, but who knew why these things worked out the way they did?
“You know, I admire knights,” Ulissa said, mostly to herself. “I wanted to be a knight when I was a child. I used to watch you all the time, but my father didn’t approve. He wanted to me to learn business.”
The Abena compound mined hard-to-find minerals and material for building ships. Undoubtedly, Boss Wakuma wanted Ulissa to learn his skills in trading and contracts.
