Reynard whistled.
"Wow. So…"
Marien turned from Frozen Balance to Reynard and scowled.
"This is such scoundrel behavior from you! Thinking about marriage with an heiress for the sake of her riches…" Marien's scowl turned into a pout. "Is this why you seduced me, too? Just for my money?"
Reynard grabbed Marien's hand and stared pleadingly into her eyes.
"No! No, never! I fell in love with your charming pout and your eyes that shine like sapphires and the way you blush when I give you these compliments!" When Reynard saw that Marien was sufficiently embarrassed and placated, he added, "But your help was incredibly valuable to my advancement in life."
Marien huffed, but smiled reluctantly.
"You are such… Oh, I don't even have a word! Let's just return to Darland. Chili surely misses you, and I miss him!"
Reynard grinned.
"Right. Mister Frozen Balance, will you come with us? Or… How are we going to transport you back to Amelia?"
"I will wait for her here," Frozen Balance said.
