In the Carin Forest where Karium, Yara and the guards spend the night, the guards took turns on duty to ensure the safety of everyone.
Nevertheless, Princess Yara sat beside the fire that was lit near her tent and blankly stared at the fire. It was obvious that her mind was somewhere else.
The Avarian Princess flinched when she suddenly felt a touch on her shoulder. However, she still managed to grab the hand and looked up at the one who touched her with high alert.
"It's me," Karium said to her in his usual calm voice. "What were you thinking?"
Seeing Karium's face, Yara quickly withdrew her hand and stared at the fire again. Then Karium sat beside her.
"It's late," the Welahan Prince pointed out. "Why aren't you sleeping?"
The Princess recalled the things that keep her up and narrowed her eyes. "I can't sleep," she muttered and looked at Karium. "What about you, Your Highness?"
