Chapter 196

Riftan wrapped his ar the reins of a foal

“I’ll show you the roo in”

Max followed hilanced up at him

“Will it be fine for you not to make sure the h-horses…entered the stables?”

“The knights will handle that”

He replied reassuringly as they walked down the hallhich was glistening ax like it was polished with oil and opened the most secluded room

Max peeked curiously inside the cabin from Riftan’s side and observed the dimly lit room The room cannot be compared to their room at Calypse Castle, but it was spacious and luxurious enough

She hurried in and plopped on the fluffy bed while Riftan lowered their luggage from his shoulder to the side of the bed with a sound of a thud

“All the sailors here are men There are no fe anything, tell me”

He said as he opened the sh it casted a glow on his face

“Don’t wander around alone either No one would dare to do anything to you knowing that you are ardless”

Even without his undue concern, Max doubted anyone would pay attention to her, but she just nodded without saying a word

After a while, they cli away fro around the deck, fulfilling their designated tasks As the shi+pfro dozens of sails unravel

Max stood by the railing and watched the enor wave hits the hull, a subtle rocking an to pick up and the sails inflated like the clouds, the wind blew hard enough to feel like so to Riftan’s side as she tried to adjust to the strange sensation of sailing on water And as if he wanted to reassure her that everything was fine, he gently stroked her back

“This is your first time on a boat, it is possible for you to feel dizzy Avoid looking down at the waters until you’ve adjusted Don’t focus on the rocking et seasick”

Max was already feeling a bit dizzy, so she took his advice and stepped away fros

She looked over the stern and watched as the city grew farther away from them Soon, it became a mere hazy dot and they floated loneso the sea breeze for a little more while with Riftan, she went back to their rooone by very peacefully

Although Max did feel nauseous for hours when they sailed, she felt better enough after a nap and was able to eat properly when evening ca roo a nap, her body was heavy, and her liue that had accu to her at once

As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep The next day, she did not get up until the sun was in the middle of the sky

“How’s your seasickness?”

Riftan approached with a cup of water as she dazedly sat up Max gulped down the lukeater and looked at her husband Riftan wore a pair of casual cotton pants paired with a si an arer and refreshed

“Do you still feel nauseous?”

“N-no I think…I’m fine now”

“Don’t strain yourself, stay here and rest You don’t have to worry about treating the injured nor ride horses while we’re onboard Do you wantyou some food?”

“I would like to…ash e my clothes first…”

Riftan i food and water for a wash Soon, a boy no ht the water and Max used that to clean her face then co it into a loose braid As she was rue of clothes, Riftan handed her a box

“I et this”

Max’s eyes widened when she saw an indigo blue dress revealed inside the velvet box Riftan looked over her outfit with a disapproving look

“Now, change fro with…p-pants”

Max muttered with a pout but pulled the dresssince she had felt the velvety sht up fro

Max spread the dress over her body to see the fit with an excited expression Riftan went and closed the door to the roohtly, then turned to her and stretched out his hand

“I’ll dress you, turn around”

“I-I can put it on ed the dress to her chest defensively, and Riftan narrowed his eyes at her reaction

“I’ foolish until you’ve co in a shi+p So, don’t worry about anything and hand me your clothes”
