"So then what brings her Royal Highness down to this humble soldier? Surely it was not just to deliver this package," Nero asked, setting the papers aside.
"We barely just started to speak, and you're already in a rush to get to the point? Do you have somewhere you need to be, or are you perhaps expecting another charming young lady to come and check in on you?" Vanessa asked in a tone as if she was offended.

"Not at all. I have all the time in the world, actually. The longer I take to heal, the better. My body needs its rest, so feel free to stay as long as you need," Nero said, flashing an honest smile.
