Meeting the Count

A pair of black horses with curled horns jutting out of their heads trotted across the dirt road as they pulled a wooden carriage behind them. The rental carriage was currently on its way to the Tidal Manor.

The sun was minutes away from setting, dying the sea in an orange hue. Lisa looked out at the sea through the horse carriage, and a faint smile formed on her delicate lips.

"So beautiful…" she muttered.

"Huhu, thank you, thank you." Adam, who was sitting beside her, brushed his hair and smiled smugly.

"You might not know this, but I was considered the most handsome boy back in my village." He smiled charmingly and continued to brush his hair backward, thinking it made him appear very handsome.

"Most handsome boy?" Edward snorted. "Was your village full of orcs?"

Adam's lips twitched and his eyes narrowed. "Fatty, you've been too outspoken on this trip. Looks like you need a beating."
