Arielle finally finished her letter. When she was happy with the results, she folded the letter carefully then gave it to William.
"Please give this to His Majesty," Arielle said with a smile. "Thank you for your help, William."
William accepted the letter solemnly. Then he placed his hand on his chest and said, "I hereby risk my life, no matter what happens, this letter will arrive at the hands of His Majesty the King."
Arielle chuckled as she found William's joke just now quite adorable. William and Lucas were finally allowed to resign. Meanwhile, Arielle was left comfortable as she sat by the fire with her new friends.

Lucas and William walked hand in hand, as they left Whitethorn Palace. The sky outside had darkened, and the two of them passed some priests students who had just returned from work outside the palace.
It was snowing again, and Lucas wrapped his coat tighter as he crossed the gardens to the Blackthorn Palace.
