"Ah, Your Highness, can I ask you a question?" Seeing him nod, she continued, "I am wondering what that tribal man said to His Highness before we left. I remember His Highness smiling because of it. Did he say something funny about me?"
Arlan raised a cocky brow at her. "Instead of asking useless things, shouldn't you worry about what punishment I will give you for disobeying my orders of not going anywhere far?"
At those words, her body froze. 'I almost forgot this.'
"Apologies, Your Highness!"
"Not even sincere," he scoffed. "I will announce your punishment once we reach the capital."
'Petty brat, can't even let slide once. I almost lost my life today and he still wants to punish me.'
"Cursing me in your mind won't change anything."
'What? How did he know?' She felt scared. "I-I will accept my punishment, Your Highness."
She quietly looked out of the window. 'Let's not think about anything.'
