"I asked for one very simple thing: don't get out of bed." Frieren said while remaining with her arms crossed in front of Ariel, who was once again sitting among the pillows after practically being carried back to bed.
Ariel kept her eyes lowered, although the expression on her face made it clear that she was not particularly sorry. Her human legs were hidden beneath the sheets again, and the employee responsible for making rounds remained near the door trying not to show any amusement at the situation.
"I managed to reach the window." Ariel replied while discreetly raising her eyes toward Frieren, as if that detail considerably improved her defense.
"You also couldn't make it back." Frieren shot back while pointing toward the princess's legs, which still showed small tremors caused by excessive effort.
Ariel opened her mouth.
She found no argument.
"That's a detail." Ariel murmured while shifting her eyes toward the window that had caused all that trouble.
