As the carriage rolled away from the village, Kyle leaned back, closing his eyes for a moment. The trip had been more eventful than expected, but at least it was over now.
Bruce, sitting across from him, hummed happily, a satisfied grin on his face.
Melissa raised an eyebrow.
"What's with you? I don't like how happy you are looking."
Bruce grinned even wider.
"I just think we gained a lot from this visit. The village is now loyal to Lord Kyle, and I've found a new direction in life."
Melissa tilted her head.
"New direction?"
Bruce nodded seriously, puffing out his chest.
"I've decided to dedicate my life to serving Lord Kyle!"
Melissa scoffed. "Took you long enough."
Bruce turned red.
"I was always loyal!"
He argued, crossing his arms.
Kyle, watching the exchange, smirked but said nothing. He reached out and tapped the carriage wall.
"Let Queen inside. I would rather not have Queen be shot at while we reach the castle."
