Sweet Future

KNOCK KNOCK!

Arai opened her eyes when she heard a knock on the door. She immediately scanned the room and was very relieved when she saw Zaha sleeping with the twins and her on the bed.

The twins were fine, and Zaha hadn't left too.

She turned to the door and opened it, finding Harriet standing there with Ezekiel.

"Harriet? Your Majesty?" Arai smiled, and Harriet chuckled as she hugged her.

"Sorry, Arai, I got so busy just after I came. I hadn't had the chance to say hello to everyone," Harriet said, releasing her hug for a bit. She looked inside the room, seeing the twins fast asleep with Zaha.

She raised her eyebrows. "Oh, he used the scroll I gave him to come."

"He did," Arai softly laughed.

But then, Harriet's gaze deepened. "Did you see Heinrich and Penny?"

Arai turned back to her, face full of questions. "That! They were with the twins before, but they left them not far from here alone."
