The next time Prince Weiford had woken up, they were already embarking back to the Graceless Swan.
Ren Jidian was carrying him like a baby and hiding his face with a cloth against the harsh sun.
They went to buy some stocked food with the little money they had. They had stolen from several of the rich folks they encountered running away from the streets and escaping first while the poor gets trampled on by the Prussian soldier's horses.
Prince Weiford opened his eyes a little with all this activity around him, clutching on Ren Jidian's clothes.
"No... Let's stay..... Don't go..."
Ren Jidian looked as his beloved stirred, and just kissed his forehead.
Thanks to the impossibly fast horses and carriage, they managed to reach the docks of Venice in less than three days and even had time to steal and gather necessities. Ren Jidian was sleepless and had heavy bags under his eyes, looking very tired and ready to collapse on his Captain's quarters.
