Then again, it wasn't as though Princess Kira had never thought of those questions.
She had thought of many things since the day her Bunbun disappeared. She had imagined him trapped inside a dungeon like Duchess Amelia. She had imagined him kidnapped by pirates, just like Ollie and Lord Killian. She had imagined far worse, too.
So many possibilities. So many questions tied to each of them.
She had long since resolved to ask all of it.
But every single one of those thoughts was promptly shelved the moment she laid eyes on his body.
She had fully expected to see someone new lying in the makeshift infirmary. Perhaps Luca had lightly tapped them and they were now unconscious. That happened often enough, especially around their guild leader.
So imagine her surprise when the door opened and revealed not one, but several familiar faces.
"???"
Her gaze swept across the room.
And suddenly, everything slowed.
Against one wall, two men were pressed close together.
Too close.
