Liani stepped closer to Jay, her eyes reflecting genuine hurt.「Why didn't you tell me?」「Well, goodbyes are really hard for me.」「Who said it's goodbye? ...Goes to him...」 Liani challenged.「...Confused... What does that mean?」「It means I'm coming with you.」「What about your father?」「Well, he said it was OK.」「A'ight. You know how to cheer my Princess up, and she really likes you, so you can join us.」Liani hugged him tightly.「Thanks, I truly appreciate you.」「You mean it right?」Jay asked still confused.「Tomatoe, tamatoe.」She said with a giggle.King Alberto approached the couple.「Thanks for bringing Zakry back.」「You're welcome.」Liani was already eager to leave.「C'mon, let's go!」「OK. ...Then they left...」Queen Alia chuckled softly as they disappeared.「He's so clueless sometimes, reminds me of you when we were that age.」「What does that mean?」 Alberto asked.「Well, he's so focused on being a Father, he can't see the potential wife at his side.」Alberto considered the possibility.「You do have a point.」
Outside The Castle...
Jay gathered his waiting family.「Hey everyone, we have a new member joining the trip!」Iris shook her head, unsurprised.「I should've seen this coming.」「Hi there, Lena.」 Liani greeted the girl warmly.「Ms. Liani! ...Liani picks her up... You know Papa was going to... ...Whispers in her ear...」Liani looked at Jay, an amused glint in her eyes.「Oh, is that true, Jay?」「...Blushes a bit... No, it's not!」「Oh, ...Smirks... really now?」「Err... Well, if it came to it...」 Jay admitted sheepishly.「...Giggles... So you do care more than you'd admit.」「...Sighs... I do.」「I forgot to ask, but where's the carriage?」 Liani asked, noting the lack of horses.「Oh. For Jay von Lancer, that's outdated.」
A sleek, black vehicle materialized—a piece of technology that defied all the established laws of the world.
「I see, but what is this?」 Liani asked, awestruck.「Well, it's an SUV. In short terms, it's over a thousand times more durable than a normal carriage and has nine thousand horsepower, thanks to Mythril and Wyvern scales.」Lisa, impressed but cautious, inquired about the power source.「That's really impressive... But did you, um... sacrifice any horses by chance?」「What, no! Horsepower is a unit of measurement.」「Oh, so if it were a normal horse-drawn carriage, then would it be pulled by nine thousand horses?」Lisa asked curiously.Jay chuckled softly at her ignorance.「Nah. One horse has seventy-five horsepower, so this would be a normal carriage with a hundred and twenty horses.」「...Astonished... Wow, that's still impressive!」「Yah, it is.」Iris and Lena, tired of the technical talk, signaled their impatience.「Are you done?」 Iris complained.「Yah, we wanna get going!」 Lena insisted.「...Laughs... OK, let's go!」Lena immediately called dibs on the front seat, using a word Jay hadn't taught her.「Shotgun!」Jay and Iris stared at her, utterly shocked.「Wait, what?!」Lena beamed, victorious.「I call shotgun!」「What does that mean?」 Lisa asked.「It means I get to sit next to Papa in front!」
