[Portia's POV]
"Tia, Tia." The light, lullaby-like voice made me even more reluctant to open my eyes and stay swimming in the sea of dreams. I was exhausted and had fallen asleep the whole way. Today's weather was also very favorable for a relaxing afternoon nap. "Just a little longer, five more minutes."
"Tia, look! We have arrived!"
"Huh?" In a flash, I open my eyes and see that we really have arrived in the Palmerston estate. "Right, we've arrived. How many hours have I been asleep already?"
Kiel, sitting next to me, starts counting on his fingers and shows me the number five. "You've been asleep for five hours."
I grin a little. "Is it that long?"
I can not believe that I have been asleep for five hours. However, looking at the scenery around us made me have to accept the fact that I actually slept that long. "Huuuuft—why didn't you wake me up earlier? I want to see the scenery along the way, though."
