"Do we really need to?"
Elia's pleas all fell on the deaf eyes, as while we were cuddling, we were doing so in the private wagon that I ordered for my own travels. With every second, the steam engines installed at the front of our train were bringing us closer and closer to the capital, for the hopefully ultimate solving of the entire royal election matter.
"The sooner we are done with it, the quicker we will be free to return to our lives."
The last two weeks that I spent in Elia's company allowed me to see the world through a slightly different perspective. All the rush that I felt so far in terms of both defeating my opponents and even more so when it came to developing my lands, was gone. I really had to let this girl show me how everything looked from the perspective of a normal person.
