Lexus and Isabella returned to the stagecoach; the little girl was still sleeping because she stuffed herself too much.
"Alright, let's eat—and make sure to grab as much food as possible. She's eating like five people!" Isabella said, pointing at the little girl—who wasn't so little anymore. She was visibly growing.
"Well, maybe she didn't eat for days? Let's not judge. Lexis chuckled, then pulled out the small fire burner; it was given by the princess as well.
After eating, they took a rest. At night, Lexus wore a black robe and his samurai hat, and then, taking the sword from his waist, he left.
Seeing Lex's back as he headed toward the deep forest, Isabella felt a pang in her heart, as if something ominous was about to happen.
"Why do I feel that way?" Isabella questioned herself, then shaking off the feeling, she grabbed the little girl's hand, who was about to stuff herself with a whole dried chicken.
