Chapter 62 The Journey Back (2/2)
”As much as I want to read your thoughts, no that is something even magic can't do. The mind is a very complex thing and going inside another's head can be very dangerous.” Leon said. ”As to me knowing your questions before you ask them, well I might just guess it because of our connection. We are meant to be.” Leon chuckled.
”Hahaha, how cheesy of you kind sir.” I teased. But thinking about it, what he said might be true.
It is not only him that can understand me even without words, but also I can do the same for him. There may really be a connection between us that can't be explained.
After a while of walking we come to a small but beautiful inn.
”Good evening sir.” A middle aged man that was standing in the reception area said. ”Glad to have you back with your sister. Two rooms have been prepared for you. The coachman can take the service rooms here in the inn.”
”Thank you.” Leon said while getting some gold coins in his pouch and giving it to the receptionist.
”Happy to be of service.” The receptionist said. ”Here are the keys to your rooms. Dinner will be prepared at the pantry at eight sharp. Hot bath is available upon request.”
”Good, please prepare a hot bath for my sister.” Leon said.
”Very well sir.” The receptionist replied. ”Anything else?”
”None for the time being.” Leon said.
”Then please enjoy your stay.” The receptionist gave us a wide smile.
”Tricia you can take Alicia to her room now. The two of you will occupy one room while I will take the other one.” Leon instructed.
”Yes sir.” Tricia said.
”The hot bath will be ready after thirty minutes so you can relax while waiting.” The receptionist said.
”Thank you.” I said.
”Oh my, you have a beautiful voice miss.” The receptionist said. Then Leon looked at him with sharp eyes like daggers flying. The receptionist felt awkward instantly. ”Well then I will be off to prepare the hot bath, hohoho.”
”We will be going upstairs now sir.” Tricia said.
”Okay.” Leon said. ”Have a rest first. I'm sure you had a tiring day.”
Leon caressed my face gently under my hood and smiled sweetly. His gesture made me blush. Good thing my face is covered under the hood.
”W-we will be going then.” I stuttered with my sentence because of embarrassment. I caught Tricia's hand and pulled her with me going up stairs. ”Come, let's go to our room.” I walked hastily.
”Princes, slow down. You might trip.” And just as Tricia said that I really tripped. But fortunately I caught myself before falling. My reflex have improved so much after training these past two years and thanks to that it lessened my embarrassment tonight.
Snow jumped out of my arms before I was about to fall.
'Sheesh, just tell that beautiful young man you love him. You can save yourself from this embarrassment.' She gracefully jumped up the stairs.
