Ch. 67: Returning [2]

Three days had passed since our journey. The rough trail now changed into a smoother granite pavement. I peered outside through the window and the high walls of Axton City came into view.

"By the way."

I turned and Damian looked at me anxiously.

"Do you–err, have cash with you?"

I raised one of my brows.

"I do. Why?"

"Umm, can you lend it to me? I… I will pay you back after we arrive at the castle."

"What for?"

"I want to buy my mother a souvenir."

I couldn't help but smirk, somehow he never changed; always loved Theresa dearly. Well, it was understandable if he was broke, his Palace's budget was managed by Fedel.

"Alright, how much do you need?"

He tilted his head.

"How much does a Rose Brooch cost?"

I shrugged. 

"I don't know. I never buy women's stuff."
