For hours the cavalry led by Christopher had passed through forests, valleys and rivers, a journey that should have only taken one week had taken longer because he had taken prisoner a weak princess from a defeated and destroyed kingdom. Christopher looked at you who was sitting in front of him with a trembling body and steeled yourself not to complain or whine about the hardness of the horse's back which was tormenting your butt and back

"We will camp here for the night"

The sound of Christopher rolling out in the forest made his knights immediately stop and prepare a tent for them tonight. He realized that the journey was still long because he continued to rest for your weak and fragile body. After getting off his horse, his hand reached out to hold your waist and helped you who were having trouble getting off. from your insufficient height. After finally your feet touched the ground, a sigh of relief and tiredness escaped your pale lips, you looked around and stared behind the trees reflecting the light from the water

"I think there's a lake behind the tree over there, so I was wondering if I could clean myself there?"

Your frail and small hands pointed at the lake behind the dense trees, your golden irises looked at Christopher, unsure whether he would allow it or not because of your prisoner status. He was silent for a moment staring at the lake that was dimly visible behind the thick and dark trees because the night was getting late, his hands rested on his waist and looked down at you because of the quite large height difference

"I will accompany you"

His hoarse and deep voice made you and the knights who were preparing tents and campfires suddenly freeze, they didn't expect the cold leader to pay attention to a girl like that. Ignoring all the gazes directed at him, Christopher walked in front of you, intending to claim the path to the lake. Behind his cold and indifferent attitude, he is quite worried about leaving a weak girl like you alone in a lake in the middle of the forest
