"Hold it," Jirou said, creasing his brows, "This is not the right time to-"
"Calm down. I know you like my sister, but Sigmund has a point. They've been away for so long, and Sigmund almost depleted his mana. He only had the energy to walk now, but later on, he wouldn't be able to stand anymore," Lucius explained, "That will be disadvantageous for us, don't you think?"
The black-haired ex-prince crossed his arms and looked away, "Fine. Let's find a place, then."
They asked some merchants where the nearest luxurious lodging was. It was found at the back of an alley, in front of newly-painted, clay-made apartments.
Lucius rented two rooms, which were in front of each other. His and Jirou's room were smaller compared to the couple's room they assigned to Ivory and Sigmund.
Before they parted, Jirou told the two, "We're only here to replenish mana, so be quick!"
