Chapter 263 : It’s time we talked

The minute they arrived at their destination, Elric let go of the woman and took several steps backwards. He inspected his environment, perked up his ears and tried to listen for the Gavarian guards who were pursuing him. When he heard nothing but the rustling of the leaves in the trees above, he looked at the red haired princess and gave her a questioning glare.

"Where have you taken me?" Silver haired man asked the young woman.

"Do not worry, we are still in the forest," she responded, sensing he no longer felt safe with her around. "We are just a bit further away from your cabin. You should be safe here until the guards give up their search and head back to the palace."

"If it wasn't for you, I would have never had to leave my cabin in the first place. if you hadn't dived after me over that cliff that day like some maniac," Elric spoke, "I would've still been leaving a peaceful and quiet life on my own."
