royal advisor that was looking towards Lily and himself from outside of the carriage. He drew in a breath of air, and gave a nod of his head towards him shortly before speaking to him in a calm yet firm tone.
                  “Very well, Richard.” Daniel said, “Tell the driver to go on the path that will take us to the castle so that we may get out of this storm.”
                  “Very well, my lord.”
                  He watched his servant close the door back into place before turning his focus to where Lily remained. His eyes found her exhibiting a look of nervousness upon her gentle face. The sight caused him to caress the side of her face in gentle strokes while he relaxed his arm, as well as the hold, he had around her.
                  “It will be all right, Lily.” Daniel spoke to her in a soft, sensual whisper, wishing to soothe her concerns away with his voice. “We will weather out the storm within the stone walls of my palace home until it has passed us. After it is gone, I will escort you to wherever you wish to go to, personally.”
                  “V-Very well, my lord.”
                  “My lord?”
                  “I-I mean…Very well, Daniel.”
                  A faint smile danced across his face from capturing the effects of their brief encounter still having an impact on her thoughts. The fact that only a few moments of sharing a kiss with her caused her mind and actions to go berserk, briefly, gave him a secret delight. It was refreshing to be in the presence of someone as sweet and innocent like Lily instead of the usual company he had been keeping.
                  He turned his head away from her, and looked towards the direction of his window on the door facing him in the carriage, and gazed out it through the cracks of his curtains that were flowing a bit due to the light breeze.
                  Moving amongst the rain, Radcliff, a farmer that had come to visit with him earlier that day, rode on the back of a mule on the opposite side of the road, heading in the very direction they had come from. He was the type of man he strived to become: strong, protective, compassionate, hardworking and dedicated to his passions.
                  The light sound of Richard making a clicking noise with his mouth caused his focus to break, and replace itself on that of Lily’s angelic face. He flashed her a warm, friendly smile to keep the concerns and nervousness away from her, wishing to only make her happy and content with his presence. Daniel slipped one of his hands into hers, and interlocked their fingers with one another just as his vehicle started to veer off the wet, paved road, and headed onto a new one that would lead them right to the impenetrable walls of his castle home.

                  With the sounds of the rain hitting the rooftop of the carriage, silence echoed all around inside of the carriage, moving amongst Daniel and herself. Not out of force…but out of nervousness and uncertainty on her part.
                  Say something, Lily…
                  Her conscience’s whispering at her in hopes of getting her to break the quiet moment that had fell upon her caused her muscles to tighten up and put her on edge, instantly.
                  You have to say or do anything, Lily, if you don’t want things to die right here and now between you two.
                  I am quite aware of the silence and quietness that has surrounded us… Lily did her best to work up enough courage to either speak or tilt her head back, but found herself unable to do either one at the moment. It is just a little hard at the moment to break out of this shell I have fallen
