The Travel

With Alluka escorting Princess Darya to the secret escaping passage of the Imperial Palace, to the tunnel, she wore her hood to hide her identity upon entering it.

“Are you sure to not take me with you, your highness?” Alluka had been asking her this, three times now.

“I told you, I would leave with Sir Theobarlt, only Sir Theobarlt, Alluka.” She answered the same, three times now.

“You have only met Sir Theobarlt just five times and you are already entrusting your life to him instead of me who had been with you for ten years—

“Stop being a child, Alluka.”

“Are you throwing me away, your highness?” Alluka started sulking. “Did you get tired of my handsome face or— maybe you like Sir Theobarlt’s face more than mine?”

“I cannot deny that.” She admitted it, nonchalantly, surprising Alluka after hearing her reaction.

“What? So you admit that he is more handsome than me?”

She chuckled because he sounded like a kid, “I did not say anything, Alluka.”
