As they exited the cathedral gates, Arielle and William passed Lucas, who brought two new canvases along with the additional paint he ordered earlier.
"Oh, Lucas!" called Arielle and went after him. She ended up leaving William alone.
When she saw that Lucas struggled with all of his luggage, Arielle rushed over to the man to help him.
"No need, Your Highness. Let me carry them all…" Lucas politely refused.
Arielle pulled away from Lucas when he wanted to reach for the canvas she had taken.
"This is for me to use too. I don't want to trouble you any further." Arielle's words made Lucas speechless.
"But, princess… this is my job." He was still trying to refuse.
"And I want to lighten your task," added Arielle stubbornly.
William, who was left behind alone, smiled at the interaction of the two people. The princess was really nice, he thought. If it had been the king and him in their places, William would have to endure carrying the man's belongings alone.
