Arielle looked back to where Northendell's dark sky was.
Her wide smile slowly faded. She didn't know why she was feeling sad right now. Perhaps because Arielle was the only one who felt sad when everyone around her cheered happily.
(Are you okay?) asked Ronan who suddenly spoke inside Arielle's head.
Arielle immediately wiped her face using her scarf and then cleared her throat.
(I'm fine. Why are you asking that? Did something happen to you?)
(Nothing. I just wanted to ask. Because... I have a feeling you're sad right now)
Arielle suddenly laughed, making William and Prince Khaled, who were also enjoying the party on the ship, glance at the queen.
(You're right. I'm really sad right now) This time, Arielle answered honestly.
(Why? What makes you sad?)
(I just crossed the border of Northendell and Thebis just now)
(And?)
(And the people seemed very happy. They even had a party on the boat)
