Slayer held the boat prepared for them steady while standing at the wooden platform so that the two women could get inside easily. Marie climbed the boat first and she helped her queen get inside by offering her hand.
Seren noticed that this time there was a ferryman on one end of the boat who was ready with the oars in his hands. Not everyone had powers like her husband to move the boat on its own on the water.
Seren sat on one side while Marie sat opposite to her. Once the two women were sitting comfortably, Slayer climbed the boat and signalled the ferryman to start moving the boat.
Marie helped Seren cover herself with a thick coat for warmth though the young queen was already wearing the bracelet given by Drayce. The temperature had considerably dropped above the surface of the lake, and it would only be colder with the wind blowing against the boat as the boat travelled towards the Crystal Palace.
