The Kingdom Capital was another seven-day trip from their current location. The Assassination team had to leave and prepare.
Alaric decided to spend a day with Eve before leaving. This time he couldn't bring her to the capital. She would be safer if she stayed in the town than coming with them.
"Shall we walk around the town?" Alaric invited her.
Eve nodded. "Okay."
Alaric grabbed her hand as they stepped out of the Inn. They started walking in the town center, watching the people of Zephyra.
No one spoke between them yet their hands were interlocked with each other.
Alaric already felt happy since Eve was no longer avoiding him.
"Are you hungry? Let's check the food stall. They might be selling some sweets." Alaric broke the silence.
Eve just nodded.
Alaric guided her to the food stalls. The two fit in as though they were ordinary citizens of Kingdom Zephyra.
The couple stopped by the food stall selling rice cakes.
"Give me two of these," Alaric said to the shopkeeper.
