“You’re so stubborn, just like your mother, I swear, not a day goes by when you don’t fail to act like her, I’ll give you time to re-think your decision my prince, for now, I advise you remain here, night approaches, it’ll be dangerous for you to bring your Contractor with you at the late hours where those less considerate to your rankings roam.” Tenshi said before pausing, “I know a place where the two of you can rest” she added.
