Bao Bei had been completely glued to the many food stalls lined up in the square, so they decided to buy food from the stalls and eat at a table in the plaza.
Bao Bei happily stuffed his cheeks full, smiling from ear to ear.
Finally, he seemed to snap out of his stunned state of shock and return to normal.
He often ask Jihl with things like, "What's that?" and "What's this?", he was so excited that he looked like he might start dancing on the horse.
And then, as they got closer to the castle, the dog-eared soldier who had been riding with the dog-eared child in front of him said goodbye.
He was heading to the guard barracks, so this was where they would part ways.
Bao Bei had grown quite close to Taerin and felt sad to see him go.
However, since they would both be living in the same city, they told each other they'd meet again and waved goodbye.
The castle had been visible from far away, but as they got closer, Bao Bei was overwhelmed by how huge it really was.
