“Huuugh? Are you listening?” Emma was peering up close to Hugh’s face.
“Whoa, sorry ’bout that, Lady Emma. I was just thinking about some stuff!” After hearing that the king had gone into the forest, Hugh was thinking back on all the trouble he’d gone through to get here. Emma brought him back to reality.
“Honestly. Well, we’re heading out, Hugh!” While Emma smiled her ever so cute smile as she spoke, a certain word made Hugh twitch.
“Uh. What do you mean we, Lady Emma?” He had a bad feeling about this.
“As in, we’re gonna go deliver the letter to the king, right? So let’s go!” Emma said as she climbed up onto Kongming with an alley-oop!
“Uh. Okay, but who is we?” That bad feeling kept creeping in.
“We’re the only ones who can, so it’s us! Honestly, you weren’t listening at all, were you?” Emma puffed out her cheeks in a pout. Meanwhile, behind her was a nervous Marion, Francesca with a look of utter despair, and the twins with their eyes twinkling with excitement.
“Us.”
“That’s right, us! You, me, Lady Marion, Lady Francesca, and the twins!” Emma said with a grin that was adorable as ever.
“Ah. Yeah. I knew it’d come to this...” However cute the smile was, Hugh knew the truth behind it. It belonged to the Herald of all Hullabaloos herself. He knew that something terrible was coming, and all he could do was prepare for the worst.
