Chapter-17

Hyacinth was awoken by a tap on her shoulder. After blinking her eyes open, she was met met with Cassien's face inches away from her face. " When do you plan on lifting your head off my lap?" He asked staring down at her confused expression.

She sprung up quickly with red cheeks. " When did you get here?" She asked looking Elaine who smiled lightly. "You kept bumping your head on the window so His Grace sat beside you and placed your head on his lap." Elaine replied.

Hyacinth whipped her head to Cassien, who turned to her. He stared quietly and said nothing.

"We're here." Cassien said. Elaine nodded, making a small gesture to the Knight who stood beside their carriage. Cassein was absentmindedly looking at the familair landscape. Even from afar, he could still see the magic forest and feel traces of dark magic in the atmosphere.
