Looking at her troubled face that was slowly turning into the color of a ripe tomato, I recalled the first time I met her. That's not the best first meeting but I guess it was somewhat memorable.
Before answering her questions thrown out because of her confusion, I reached for her head.
For a princess that was looking down at me before, she's a head shorter than me.
Patting her head and feeling the texture of her neatly-combed purple hair, Reinys' mouth opened and closed without any words escaping it. However, as I continued patting her head and slowly drawing her in towards me, the confused state she fell into gradually disappeared.
Upon seeing that, I removed my hand on her head and answered her. "You heard it right. In these few days, I noticed how you seem to want to talk to me alone. I'm here now. Perhaps my assumption was wrong. Nonetheless, can you let me hear about it?"
