After listening to the Head Priest, Veronica's eyes sparkled. The only thing that came to her mind was, 'I can go to the town.'
Arthur's image flashed in her head. Her face heated up and she lowered her head. 'Why am I thinking about him?'
It's true that she wasn't able to meet him for six months. She wished she could meet him before leaving. Deciding that, she took a detour so as not to meet Catherine on the way and headed to the town. She was blocked at the temple gate but after showing a token given by the Head Priest, the guards allowed her to leave.
The city was bustling just like before. The news of the healers disappearing hadn't arrived there yet. People were chatting joyfully and children were playing without a worry. The scenario wasn't as festive as the night time but it was refreshing.
The first thing she did was to go to the library. The library had a signboard. It said 'Open'. Her heart filled with anticipation as she entered the library.
