After discussing the important matters, with Barrett's reminder, the atmosphere between the two returned to normal, as if they had never discussed any sensitive matters.

"I have to go to Dawn Castle soon, so don't come with me." Barrett smiled and patted Li Lin on the shoulder. "You don't know, ever since the prince's celebration banquet, Sona has been thinking about you!"

"Haha, really..."

Li Lin couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he directly pointed out their relationship.

His original attitude towards Barrett, neither humble nor arrogant, suddenly changed, and he became as nervous as if he was facing his father-in-law.

Although he did tell Zuo Yin that he didn't have any feelings for Sona.

But before she traveled through time, she was one of Li Lin's favorite heroines...

While talking, the two walked out of the main gate. Barrett saw Kahina and Sona hiding on one side of the yard at a glance, and his eyes were curved with smiles.

"Look, isn't Sona here?"

Li Lin looked in the direction Barrett was looking. The giggling Kahina and the shy Sona were hiding behind a small flower bed, and their figures could not be hidden at all.

Noticing the look in his eyes, Sona's pretty face flushed, and her gaze, which had been focused on him, quickly shifted away, not daring to look him in the eye.

However, Kahina, who was a carefree person, still grabbed her hand and forcibly took her to the main gate of the yard.

"Good morning! I didn't expect you to visit so soon."

Kahina greeted Li Lin, then began to wink at him, signaling to Sona beside her, with a high arc at the corner of her mouth.

"Sona, I've been thinking about you so much these days that I haven't even had the energy to compose music." The words she used to tease Sona were surprisingly similar to Barrett's.

【elder sister! 】

"Alright, alright, Kashina, stop making fun of your sister." Barrett smiled and shook his head. "You haven't started training yet, have you? With your current martial arts skills, you're still a long way from becoming a Paladin of the Illuminator."

Kashina made a face at Barrett, said "I'm going to train" and ran away, leaving Sona alone with an uncomfortable look on her face.

"This child..." Barrett shook his head and said to Li Lin with an apologetic look on his face, "She has been spoiled by me and Lestara since she was a child. I guess she won't mature until she becomes a true paladin. Please forgive me."

"What are you talking about?"

Then, Barrett looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I can't keep His Majesty waiting for me."

He greeted Li Lin and Sona, and especially reminded Sona that His Royal Highness the Prince did not have time to take Li Lin to visit Xiongdu, and asked her to entertain Li Lin well on behalf of the Buwell family and the Light Shield royal family, and then left with a smile.

The two men stood at the gate of the yard and watched Barrett's carriage leave, and then fell into an awkward atmosphere again.

Sona stared at the ground with her watery eyes, her two fair hands tangled together. She seemed to feel that the guards on both sides of the door were staring at her with curious eyes, but it was just an illusion.

Li Lin could see her shyness, and he didn't know what Duokaxinna had said to her that day that made her so shy in front of him.

After a moment's thought, he took the initiative to break the silence: "Want to go out for a walk?"

"Of course!" Sona said happily through her mind.

Li Lin waited for her to return to her room and changed into casual travel clothes. It was a knee-length gown commonly seen among nobles, with a warm shirt underneath, and slim-fitting warm trousers and precious leather boots on the bottom.

Sona's clothing style is still based on ancient blue, with other colors as embellishments, which just matches her rare hair color.

No matter where they went, this handsome man and beautiful woman soon became the focus of attention on the entire street.

Since Sona seldom goes out, even among the common people living in the houses radiating out from the Bouville mansion, few people know that she is the youngest daughter of the Bouville family.

In addition, their appearance is quite different from that of the Demacians, so many people thought that they were princes or princesses sent by foreign countries to Demacia as friendly envoys.

Some people even offered them gifts as a token of Demacia's hospitality.

Of course, Li Lin would politely decline these gifts.

However, there were still some people with sharp eyes who knew many noble children and recognized Sona's identity at a glance. Seeing that she was with a strange young man, they immediately realized that the Buwell family might be about to have a happy event.

But no matter what they think, Li Lin and Sona don't care about other people's views and evaluations.

It was a different scene today when we arrived at Bouville Mansion from Dawn Castle. The area along the way was almost entirely residential.

Now it is a different situation when you go to a place that specializes in renting rooms for business.

Li Lin even saw someone riding a bicycle on the street.

The two of them strolled through the surrounding commercial streets, occasionally tasting Demacia's special snacks, and discovered many novel gadgets.

By noon, they came to a ramen restaurant run by Ionians and doing a booming business.

The owner recognized them as his fellow countrymen at a glance, and immediately welcomed them warmly. He made them authentic ramen without any local characteristics, which brought back their memories of Ionia.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two continued strolling along the streets, basking in the much milder midday sun.

"When I was a child, the elders of the monastery would often cook for us lonely children and make a bowl of hot ramen."
