"It's alright, just a few mice out foraging for food, don't be afraid..."

His embrace was warm, and his voice was gentle.

Her fear slowly disappeared in his arms.

She wanted to leave his embrace, but her body wouldn't obey her brain...

In this damp and cold cell, in this dark night where you can hear mice squeaking, having such an embrace is truly a blessing.

She suddenly felt a strong urge to be in his arms, and she snuggled closer to him. He tightened his arms around her, holding her even tighter.

"Get some sleep! We'll leave tomorrow. I think I was wrong; I shouldn't have let you come here..."

As he said this, he said bitterly, "No, I'm going to find them now..."

She remained nestled in his arms, shaking her head without moving.

"Don't go. At this time, if you say you are the crown prince, they will think you are crazy. No one will believe you."

"But I feel sorry for you, and I don't want you to suffer."

"Then lend me your embrace so I can get some sleep..."

As she said this, she closed her eyes slightly, and after a moment, a faint snoring sound came from her nostrils.

He looked down and saw that she was already asleep.

Looking at her tired face, he grinned, a smile of contentment.

Having known her for so long, he had never been so close to her when she was quiet.

Looking at her fair face and beautiful features, he couldn't resist lowering his head, preparing to steal a kiss, but at that moment she turned over, mumbling something...

"You should take a nap too!"

He shook his head helplessly and chuckled. She was clinging to him, and he couldn't move at all. How could he possibly close his eyes?

But he wasn't sleepy at all. He cherished the rare time he could spend alone with her. He wanted to look at her like this, to keep looking at her, and he even wished the night could be longer, much longer...
