"Really?" Adeline's lips curved downwards when Theodore told her that he wouldn't be able to teleport Rion. "What shall we do then?" she looked at Theodore in the hope of getting a solution.
Theodore was trying hard not to show how happy he was when Adeline readily believed that he couldn't teleport Rion. He cleared his throat and then acted as though he too was sad. And he suggested a solution, "I guess we have no other option than riding together."
Adeline's eyes lit up. But she wanted to be sure that he knew the way. "You know how to get to the Palace from here, right?"
"Of course I do." Theodore gave a proud smirk and boasted, "I know a shortcut so we should be back in the Palace within half an hour."
He gently offered his hand to Adeline and whispered enchantingly, "Shall we, my Princess?"
Adeline's heart started to beat faster when he spoke in his deep voice and held out his hand for her. She smiled showing off her dimples and held his hand.
