The next day…
"Haah! I finally made it to the palace!"
Nolan stretched lazily before flopping onto the bed with a look of relief.
The day's journey had been long and exhausting. Still, it had at least done a good job of chasing away his boredom.
The horse-drawn carriage had stopped at several cities along the way, allowing him to rest and stay at inns that Orlan had booked in advance.
So, even though it was tiring, the trip had been somewhat enjoyable.
"Hmmm…" Nolan closed his eyes, ready to sink into a deep nap.
But just then, a shadow appeared in the doorway.
The figure walked over slowly, then suddenly jumped onto the bed and hugged Nolan tightly from behind.
"Ouch!"
Caught off guard by the sudden squeeze, Nolan groaned in pain and woke up.
"Damn it! Who's ruining my nap?" He grumbled, annoyed.
He tried to turn around, but the person behind him had locked him in place with their arms.
"Guess who I am~"
