The next morning, Avina memorized the plan in her head. Once she was confident enough, she ordered the butler to prepare a carriage to the palace.
As she waited outside the front door, Hector came running over.
"Wait!," his voice echoed through the front area shocking nearby maids and attendants.
Avina could only helplessly look at this brother of Ariel's, and wait for him to reach her.
When Hector finally reached Ariel, he was panting out of breath.
Ariel could only pat his back smiling helplessly at her brother. She didn't understand what Hector had to tell her, but he was her brother and he would never harm her.
"You didn't need to run. I would have waited for you," Ariel continued patting his back slowly. "Do you need any help? I'm about to leave though."
Wheezing, Hector finally caught his breath. "I wanted to know where you were going." Still, out of breath, he let out a small chuckle. His soft curls bounced as his face opened into a bright smile.
