Crim had stashed the dagger Leo had given her on the leg, just above her boot where it was hidden by her dress. She smiled as she walked with him out of their room and into the halls. 

When the reached the courtyard, Crim took in the beauty of the gardens and fresh air. It was gorgeous. "Leo, since you're now King are we still going to Etrya after the war? Or do we have to come back here? I know Ritland is now your responsibility, but must we give up all of our freedom?" she asked curiously. She didn't want obligations to tie her down to a single room all day. She loved the freedom of a hunt, or the freedom she had when she went for a walk in the woods outside Onxyia. 

Crim wished for that freedom again, but wouldn't leave Leo's side if he couldn't accompany her. Especially after what happened with the vampire and dire wolf. She couldn't let that happen again.
