When the sun went down, Rufus and I headed back to the castle. Strange it was, indeed. Normally, Sam and Fabian — sometimes Cameron — would go to the training grounds to walk me back.
Not that I needed them to. I could walk back by myself. However, after three months of having that routine, I wondered what happened.
The fifth prince was present, after all. I wondered if something bad happened.
I glanced back at Rufus, who was walking behind me. "If something happened, you would know, right?"
"Certainly, my lady."
Rufus spoke and was acting like usual. Despite our conversation previously, it surprised me how he adjusted as if we didn't talk about anything.
Well, that's for the better, I thought. In this case, it wouldn't be difficult for us. Although I'm unsure why I was concerned if ever I've felt uncomfortable around him.
