Lucy's sudden jump surprised Lith slightly but with a smile on his face, he hugged her back.
"You were so cool out there." Lith said softly while caressing her hair.
Lucy had herself attached to Lith like a panda would to bamboo. She didn't know what went inside her head, but she felt this was the best course of action to take when she saw Lith.
Lucy was too stressed the whole time. In the carriage she somehow managed to put herself into character and for a good while, stayed in character. She didn't break even for a single moment despite being made to stand in front of the whole world.
This went on to strengthen her mental fortitude but after she left the throne and was in private with Lith, her character broke and she became her previous stressed self, who was overworked and just needed a break.
Thankfully, as she saw Lith, her mind felt at ease and here she was, in his warm embrace, getting herself the much needed break she deserved.
