After almost a week since Clement departed, Eric would finally be taking his turn.
Everyone is gathered around the entrance of the castle at the moment, anticipating the approaching escorts. Along with Eric, Seraphine watches from the side. Helios serves as the first to greet the retainers from the palace.
With that, they have a little more time to bid each other farewells once again.
"Seraphine, will you really be alright...?" he asked with a downcast gaze.
"You will be on your own from now on - in an unfamiliar place even. No matter how many times you tell me not to, I can't help but worry for you."
"You should worry more about yourself, you know..." she said with a sigh before settling with giving him a smile.
"I'll be alright, Eric. I'm tougher than how I look."
"But I can't even see you. How would I know?"
At his uncalled-for attempt in humor, she finds herself speechless and blinking at him several times.
