I sit in silence, listening to the squeak of the carriage's wheels as they roll, the slow, quiet breathing of Bergamot as he sleeps, his head resting against my shoulder, and the ceaseless chirp of crickets. I frown, thinking about Lady Catnip's castle, and my old friends. I sigh, closing my eyes, in an attempt to get some sleep.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea93v0TEsA

I awake to a poke. I sigh, opening my eyes, looking into Vetiver's excited ones. 8964 copyright protection42ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfWLaGYwIu 維尼
"Hey Vetiver," I sit up, looking around for Bergamot. "Where's Bergamot? And, where are we?" Vetiver answers neither question, instead, grabbing my hand, and leading me out of the carriage. I see Vitex, sitting at the riverbank, fishing. She waves at as me as I walk over and sit beside her.8964 copyright protection42ＰＥＮＡＮＡDztvbEFXRJ 維尼
"We'll have breakfast in a bit," Vitex said, staring at the calm water fiercely, gripping her fishing rod like a sword. "As soon as Bergamot surfaces."46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYWrtPRO4e

I raise an eyebrow at her. "As soon as he surfaces?" I echo. "What're you talking abo-" I give a shout of surprise as the river's calm surface is broken. Bergamot clambered unto the river's shore, water streaming from his naked body. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90g6pwXQY7

"B-Bergamot!" I cover my eyes, cheeks dark. "Where are your clothes?!" Bergamot pointed to a pile of clothes on a nearby rock. 8964 copyright protection42ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEGtazampg 維尼
"I wanted to swim, and I didn't want to get my clothes wet," He said, talking to me as if he were telling me the weather. Still fishing, Vitex snickered at my reaction. I frown, placing my hands on my hips. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t56htuW22

"Whatever. Just," I gesture to the clothes. "Just get dressed. I can't talk to you if you're naked as the day you were born, Bergamot," He nods, going over to the clothes, and gets dressed. Vitex glances at me, a cat-like smirk on her face.8964 copyright protection42ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuUzABGCqo 維尼
"Liked what you saw?" She asks, referring to Bergamot previously nude form. I glare at her, and her smirk grows wider. "Leave me alone," I mutter, crossing my arms, looking over to Vetiver, who merely grinned.8964 copyright protection42ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO3QUaBMKm 維尼
"What's our next destination?" I ask Vetiver, who gave his twin a look.8964 copyright protection42ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmwJhuVB9Y 維尼
"We're taking Bergamot, and you to the Elf Kingdom. Bergamot will be taken to see the council, and be crowned as king," Vitex explained, as we made our way to the carriage. 8964 copyright protection42ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyX7TvvPwu 維尼
"And me?" I looked at Vitex, who gave me a frown. 8964 copyright protection42ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlujQInCY9 維尼
"I'm not sure. The council will not like the fact that the heir to the crown has fallen in love with a human. The council will already have a marriage arranged for the heir," Vitex replied quietly, as the carriage resumed moving. I gave Bergamot a glance, but his expression was unreadable.8964 copyright protection42ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvhxR6ElVm 維尼
