"Huh?" Alexei's eyes widened at the reply and then frowned a little. "Go through what? You mean your search for the Ice Prince… you'll do it all by yourself? Why not hire mercenaries or trackers to help aid you on your quest, Your Highness?"
"I don't have much money, okay?" Harlow said. "Besides, how can I trust that these people will not betray me? I need someone who I can count on, and so far, Icecube is the only candidate."
"Pfft… you say that while you're eyeing me?" Alexei chuckled and crossed his arms. He grinned confidently at her. "You were considering me, right?"
Harlow was satisfied with that kind of answer and smiled back. "I'm already looking for a presumptuous man, I can't imagine going across the realms with another one. It'd be too troublesome already."
"Hey…" Alexei pouted.
