Chapter 24 - Nine Years-I

One day, on a bright afternoon in a small town located in Runalia, Elise lifted her chin and had her blue eyes directly shone by the bold light of the sun. Seeing the sun that was swallowed by dark clouds for more than a week, she smiled at the sun to have her red burning hair sparkled along from the light above her head. She folded her long sleeve to her forearm and bent her back to take the laundry basket on the backyard which was made of grass. Placing the heavy basket down she took some white fabrics and flapped it to the side for the excess water to sprinkle out from it and hanged it over the wooden frames. In the middle, as she was about to take a new one to hang, Elise swept the sweat on her forehead with the back of her palm and heard a voice calling her name from afar.
