I grabbed Aurelia and lifted us both into the air.
She immediately wrapped her arms around me like I might drop her, which honestly wasn't a bad idea. The girl clung tightly to my chest while I slowly floated toward the massive stone structure in front of us.
The King's castle.
From a distance it didn't look that impressive compared to some of the crazy buildings I'd seen across the galaxy. But once you got closer, the craftsmanship started showing. Thick stone walls, engraved pillars, massive iron gates… the kind of place that screamed dwarven pride.
Aurelia had also changed clothes before we came here. Instead of the more revealing stuff she wore earlier, she now had on something far more covered. Long sleeves, layered fabric, and a thick skirt that probably weighed more than she did.
Guess meeting your dad required a different dress code.
"Relax," I told her while we slowly descended.
"I am relaxed," she replied.
Her grip tightened even more.
Right…
