Seren's eyes caught the view of the vast river bed which shone under the bright sunlight of the late noon. A cold breeze came from the direction of the river, making her feel relaxed and helping lessen the body aches she felt from the bumpy ride in the carriage.
"Your Majesty, the camp has been set," one of the knights said after paying respect to her. "You can rest inside the tent for some time."
"I am fine." After feeling the grass under her feet, Seren walked to get closer to the river while the maids followed behind her, maintaining a little distance between them.
On the other hand, although Drayce was busy talking to his knights in the company of Arlan, he kept part of his attention on his queen. He saw Seren going towards the river but didn't stop her as he continued with his conversation.
Just then, there was a loud bird screech nearby, a sound Seren found familiar and comforting. She looked around thinking, 'Did he follow me?'
