Even though I wanted to answer his questions, I couldn't because he left my body and started walking suddenly. As I blinked my eyes quickly at him, he turned his face towards me and frowned. "You're not planning on waiting there forever, are you? I'm sure your family is dying of curiosity, now you need to go back to the palace." He paused and grinned. "Of course you can go yourself if you know the way home." As my eyes widened, his grin widened as he was now sure that I didn't know the way back, and he extended his hand towards me. "Let's go."
Without hesitation, I ran to him, held his hand tightly, and started walking with him. Frankly, I thought the road would be long, but after a few minutes, when we left the dark forest and entered the palace area, I realized that the way back was not as difficult as I thought. The hard part was starting now.
