Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 141

Lulu was the happiest and the most tearful.

She practically flew as she chased after the king's carriage, crying out, "My lady! My lady...!"

Carissa glanced at her helplessly. Lulu was laughing and crying at the same time, showing no restraint at all.

Sitting beside Carissa, Rafael glanced at Lulu and said thoughtfully," Her name is Lulu, isn't it?"

"You still remember her, Your Highness?" Carissa asked in surprise.

"Yes," Rafael replied with a slight smile. "I remember one year when I went to the Pathfinders Guild, I saw that girl picking apples from a tree. When she saw your senior and I, she was so frightened she fell off the tree."

Carissa was even more surprised, "You've been to the Pathfinders Guild before?"

"Yes. Before I was deployed to the Southern Frontier battlefield, I used to go to the guild once a year," he said softly..

The June sunlight shone brightly in his eyes, but his gaze quickly dimmed as he continued, "I haven't been there since."

"I didn't know about that. I've never seen you there," Carissa said, astonished. "Why did you visit the Pathfinders Guild every year?"

"To travel and also to seek guidance on martial arts from your master and uncle. It's no wonder you never saw me. I was always in and out quickly, and I stayed at Treasure Emporium, which you usually avoided."

Carissa gasped.
