Eve came with me; she walked beside me from Eranor to Irongate. I chose that city because I had promised to meet someone there when I returned from the First Line.
She is one of the people who has helped me a lot, a formidable woman cloth businesswoman and trade lord in Irongate. The woman I'm referring to is called Beatrice.
The distance from my place to Irongate is not that far. It only takes one hour's walk. Eve occasionally inquired about the identity of the woman named Beatrice because I told her right before leaving.
Of course, I only tell things that are not personal, just a general description of the woman.
"You seem to have a close affinity with him?" she asked. I chuckled at that.
Even if I want to dodge, I can not do it. We have sex a few times in our free time, but we don't love each other. That may be my opinion, but I feel like Beatrice has feelings for me.
"Yes, We are quite close in a mutually beneficial relationship," I replied.
