Ai Fen caught her breath as she placed her hand on the tree beside her. She thought it was easy and fun to climb a mountain, but it was difficult.
"Your Highness, I think we should not go ahead. I will drop you at the palace," Chang Shi said.
"No." Ai Fen refused to go back without seeing the place from where Chang Shi would pick up the herbs. "I can walk. It is my first time climbing such a hill, that's why I got tired," she stated.
"Is Her Highness sure? We have taken more than ten breaks in the last thirty minutes. At this rate, it will take us two hours to reach the top," Chang Shi told her.
Ai Fen stood straight and held her long waist skirt. She resumed the walk while Chang Shi walked behind her.
"Since you come here regularly, that's why this walk is easy for you," Ai Fen told Chang Shi.
"Yes."
"How do you know so many things?" Ai Fen curiously asked him.
