Since early morning, Raoul had been up and prepared while waiting for Ariana to arrive. Even though a lot had happened yesterday, it was undeniable that Raoul was still looking forward to his first trip with Ariana. Imagining that there would be a time when he would be able to get out of the palace walls made Raoul very excited. Raoul knew that in three days, he would go to the northern border. But the trip with Ariana will be different because this trip will be his first date with Ariana.
Yes, a date. Because from the books Raoul read, when a girl and a boy walked together to enjoy something, that trip could be called a date.
While Raoul was waiting for Ariana's arrival on the terrace of his castle, his keen ear heard a rustling sound from the road that Ariana and Valencia used to walk. Raoul immediately stood up to greet Ariana's arrival. But his face turned wary when he saw two young men in simple clothes.
"Your Highness, it's us, Ariana and Valencia."
