Romiel Kriegan discreetly took a seat next to Astrid.
"Why do I feel like I've seen the two people in the movie before, my little Reed, is there anything you'd like to say?"
Astrid forced a naive smile, "It's quite nice."
It was her first time learning to lie, just like Mr. Durin had said in the movie, life was born into the world not only to punish the wicked and praise the good but sometimes also to tell kind lies for the sake of others and oneself.
This was for others, and for herself as well.
Astrid consoled herself like this.
Romiel rolled his eyes, he suddenly thought of the first time he met Durin at the embassy, and indeed, a child confident enough to travel the world at thirteen could hardly be a pitiful creature easily manipulated.
