178. Mill's Objection

"Wouldn't it be best if she waited until you are sure there wouldn't be any kind of tear before she traveled back to the castle? Wouldn't that be advisable?"

Mill felt a glare on her neck as she asked this question. She did not know what Danag was planning but there was no way she would stand by and watch anything that might be detrimental to Mauve's health.

"Yes," Jean said, dragging out his words. "However, unless something excessive happens, her injury should not worsen simply from moving around." 

"Does Jael know this?" Mauve asked. Mill could see that she was brimming with excitement.

"I did not see the need to inform him of this before now," Jean responded, his eyes briefly glancing toward Danag. Mill did not miss this.

"When would you like to leave, Princess?" Danag asked harmlessly.

"Soonest," Mauve responded.
