Chapter Eight: Declaring You Can’t Say No

“So it’s Livio and Sophie, hmm?” the innkeeper said with a welcoming, hearty laugh as she beamed at the two of them. “Did you two just get hitched?”

Sophelia and Livionis grew bright red.

“Oh, you two just make the most adorable little couple!” the innkeeper went on.

Ms. Innkeeper? I beg of you. Please...say no more.

Now, where were we?

Livio? Sophie? Worry not—this is no error on their part or yours. Indeed, the names referred to Livionis and Sophelia.

After eating a late breakfast that morning, they had set out for town on foot. Matcha, the clever, black-coated steed, trotted alongside them, carrying their bags even without Livionis at the reins. Livionis walked beside him, and Sophelia, in turn, beside Livionis.

Livionis had encouraged Sophelia with a smile to slow down and enjoy their journey together, and true to his word, he had walked beside her, matching Sophelia’s measured pace. Her first step? Ladylike. Her second step? Ladylike. Whether it was her third or fourth or fifth step, her gait was unfalteringly ladylike. It was how her mother had taught her to walk, and while she wasn’t used to trekking about, it seemed all her training hadn’t just been for show.

It helped that the lace-up boots Livionis and his servants had prepared for her were surprisingly light and easy to walk in. With both Matcha and Livionis walking slowly to accommodate her, she was able to make her way on foot without pushing herself.

Their conversation on the way to town was, to put it frankly, nothing of importance. They talked about how Sophelia didn’t have a sweet tooth, but Livionis did. How Sophelia was deathly afraid of heights and Livionis loved climbing up to reach high places. How Sophelia liked reading books, but Livionis wasn’t very fond of following the letters with his eyes.

In other words, the two were complete opposites.

From Sophelia’s perspective, it didn’t matter whether you looked at him from the front or the back, and while she’d never done so, even from the top or the bottom or diagonally, Livionis was (probably) absolutely beautiful from all angles. Sophelia, on the other hand, was plain and lacking in presence whether you squinted at her or tried looking at her in the dark. Sophelia had never considered the two of them the same sort of creature. She was all smiles, absolutely delighted to learn more about Livionis, but for some reason, he had seemed a bit down.

Huh? You’d get sad over me? That was the core of it. That’s way too cute of you!

“So, erm, by the way, Lady Sophelia...” Livionis said.

Sophelia tilted her head, not quite sure what he was trying to get at addressing her so suddenly. “Yes?”

Matcha swished his tail and brayed.

“Well, it’s just...” he began. “Nobles tend to have longer names, right?”

“Yes, that’s true,” Sophelia replied.

Livionis had a point. Their names might prove unsuitable for making their escape. “Sophelia” and “Livionis.” While their names weren’t terribly long, they were unusual names for common folk or adventurers.
