"Ca-Carry me?!" Laina exclaimed in surprise.
Before she could protest any further, Dante was already making his way out of the room. Even Margaret did not have time to stop him in his tracks. The guards outside the room were surprised but they remained silent and still. As they walked down the hallway, they garnered many stares and countless whispers.
Embarrassed by the entire situation, Laina buried her face in her hands as she leaned on Dante's chest. She hoped and prayed that people would not recognize her. But who was she kidding?
Who else would the Dragon King be carrying like this in his arms? Because of how she leaned in close to his chest, more people wandered about the true nature of their relationship.
Dante, on the other hand, enjoyed it entirely. The smile on his face was undeniable. As they took a turn at the end of the hallway, Laina surrendered to her predicament. To say that she did not enjoy the experience would be a lie!
