<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you for taking care of us," Keith shook his hand. It was the next day; it was time for the three to leave. The stop to the vige was only a short stop. They would need to ride much longer to head to the Marquis territory.
<span style="font-weight:400">Ryan smiled, "It was our pleasure."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Later, man." Jack waved his hand, but that caused Rebba to smack his head, "How could you be so nonchnt about this?! Look at your sister."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''ll see you two in a month and a half!" Sarah hugged the two girls. They did the same as well. Anyone could see the warm-hearted scene between the three.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Me too." "Mmhmm."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, I''m not like them. Crying and doing something when we''re going to meet again is just dumb." Jack scoffed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, yeah." Keithughed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, I will miss you!" Sarah hugged the man and Keith did the same thing, "Mmhmm."
<span style="font-weight:400">With those final words, the group was now setting off to the Marquis estate. As they did, Keith made some tea, "Here, drink some of this."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you," Krystal took the cup and asked, "When will we arrive at your home?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I think a week or two." The carriage continued onwards. While it did, "Thanks for letting me stay at your home."
<span style="font-weight:400">"There''s no need to thank me. It was my father''s decision."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, this guy has no say in this," Carolyn added. That just caused Keith to smack her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Shut it."
<span style="font-weight:400">"But why does it feel like we''ve done so much, yet there''s more toe."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oscar," Keith muttered. It was all because of that one person. Felix was one of the main culprits that caused the Philosopher Kingdom incident. But that was because he had apetitor.
<span style="font-weight:400">Oscar Sol Gerard. He was the Solis Kingdom''s second prince and a contender to be crown prince. The reason why Felix decided to make a deal was because of this man.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Krystal, I''m sorry about what my brother did," Not only that, he was the one who correrced Rodrick to try to overthrow Edmund.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s not your fault. You were also part of the scheme," Krystal shook. One brother tried to mess with her while the other was set up by the older one.
<span style="font-weight:400">"There''s nothing we can do about this; we''ll just leave it up to Julius and Edmund. Let the adults handle it and rx."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay." Ending it like so, there was a serene silence where Keith yawned, "I''m going to take a nap. Tell me when we''re going to take a break."
<span style="font-weight:400">But as he did so, Krystal and Carolyn sat on both sides of him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are you two doing?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Taking a nap as well," They had decided to use his shoulders as pillows.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Suit yourself." Keith didn''t mind that as he knocked out. But that was when he noticed how the two girls held his arm tightly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." I''m not getting any sleep, am I?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Young-" "Shh!" Keith quickly moved a finger to his lips. That caused the knight to nod as he mouthed that they would set up camp in a few minutes. Keith nodded. Guess I won''t be sleeping. These two were allowed to.
<span style="font-weight:400">But when it came time for bed, something was brought up,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"How about the three of us sleep together?" Keith almost spat out his food, "Are you kidding me? Why bring this up?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, without Jack and Sarah, there''s a lot of space, so let''s just sleep together." One tent could house four people. So, one person using it was kinda overkill.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Keith blinked and wanted to say something, "You and I had already slept in a tent before, so it''s fine."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"But Krystal-"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m fine with it!" Krystal stated. Carolyn would only be asking if she had gotten her permission.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It would be nice," That was when the two grabbed his hand, "Come on! Let''s go in and sleep now!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait!" Keith nced at the knights, requesting for help. But the only thing those knights did was grin.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Our young master is walking up the stairs of adulthood."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"And with two beautiful girls as well."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, so envious of him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">…Do I look excited about this?! Keith''s eyes narrowed as he wanted to fight them. All he knew was that they would get it when they returned home.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" There was an awkward silence between the three.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will take the side," Keith decided.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? Why are you taking the side?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Should I not?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You should be the one taking the middle."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t like that look on your face." That grin was saying many things about what she had nned for him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Just sleep in the middle now," Carolyn grinned as she shoved the man over. Keith shook his head as he was prepared to go to sleep. But that was when he felt two weights on his arms.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are you guys doing?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hold each of your hands."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"So you don''t do anything naughty."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then why even have me here?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ehehe, because we''re scared." "…Indeed."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Krystal, you sound so unbelievable. Keith sighed, "Come on, go to bed, or else I will attack."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay!" The two didn''t hesitate as they raised the man''s hands and used them as pillows,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"So soft." "….Yeah."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hah," Keith sighed as he went to bed. There was really nothing he could do about this. That was when,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Cuu!" "We want in too!" Fira and Ruby didn''t hesitate to jump into this as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…”
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">The next morning, Keith had gotten out of the tent. And when he did, the knights all had grins as they stared at him. It was quite something.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Nothing, Young Master."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then get to packing up! We''re moving," Those dark circles under his eyes were messing with him. He couldn''t get a wink of sleep. When you were surrounded by all sides, it was messing with him! What made it even harder was that they were breathing under his neck.
<span style="font-weight:400">The thought made him shiver.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Kay!" The knights quickly went to pack up, but that didn''t help the fact that they had smiles.
