Elige tugged her arm and pushed her to Star gently "come on." He whispers before climbing onto Fire. Ruel dropped the pot and ran in the opposite direction, diverting the attention to him.
Elige leads, with Fire at a trot, May towards the palace. Ruel glances back to see soldiers chasing him "this is where I need another pair of hands." He mutters.
Elige cupped her cheek "I'll protect you. I promise. I won't get a warm reception, I know that already." Hazel watched the horse's progress, wondering how long it would take. Ruel turned a corner, the soldiers still on his tail, he cursed quietly as he knocks a glass bottle as he ran.
Elige leans across and kisses May's cheek "trust me." He says quietly. Ruel stops and smirks "took your time." He winks at Lucy.
Ruel continues smirking as he approaches Lucy "I know. You missed the dance in the square." Elige smiles as he turns Fire so he can trot along side May and Star.
