Shard chose not to take a carriage, but instead walked with Margaret, strolling on the deep dark streets:
"The destination isn't far, just two blocks away."
Shard said, but Her Highness the Princess didn't mind. She walked alongside Shard with her hands behind her back, occasionally turning to look at him, listening to him talk about the stories he encountered in this city.
"You seem to always run into unexpected events?"
There was no one else on the streets of the deep winter night, only two lonely figures strolling side by side. Margaret's steps were slow, even knowing that the last moments of their time together would eventually come to an end, she still wanted to slow down this moment.
"It isn't always. It's the other friends I know who seem to always encounter various unexpected events. Like that Dr. Schneider you've met."
Thinking of the doctor, a smile appeared on Shard's lips:
"And my friend at the church, yes, the one you met at the Opera House."
