"Alright. You may tag along. But only if Elrond approves of it. Go ask for his permission first," Ferdinand agreed for Alvis to go with him after Arabella's explanation.
"I will. I was planning to speak with him anyway."
With that, Alvis said his goodbyes to pay a visit to Elrond next.
The others inside the room bowed and excused themselves as well since they didn't need to guard her closely anymore with Ferdinand around.
"He's finally gone," Ferdinand sighed and wrapped his arms around Arabella's waist.
It didn't seem to be enough for him since he carried her to his lap and held her tighter. Burying his face in the crook of her neck.
"What's wrong? Do you not get along with Alvis?" Arabella wondered since his acting like he was trying to comfort himself by doing this.
"Alvis?" Ferdinand frowned at hearing Alvis' first name from her.
