"Beautiful," she murmured under her breath.
"It hurts my eyes," Aleksander grimaced.
To the princess' dismay, Aleksander pulled the curtains shut with a swift flick of his hands, blocking the view she was having fun watching.

"I don't really care much for sceneries," Aleksander said without a drop of emotion.
"Well, if you cared to ask, I do," Elys retorted. "It's like a breath of fresh air compared to the chaos of the manor - and you."
Aleksander reached to the other side of the carriage window, pulled the curtains down and gave Elys a disinterested side glance.
