Arielle then turned away from the wolf, who was still standing in place, looking at Arielle's back which was walking away. The warmth that had surrounded him all this time slowly drifted away.
(Arielle, I love you)
Arielle, who was walking away, suddenly froze in her place. Ronan's voice ringing in her head made the girl's heartbeat quicken. She turned and saw Ronan no longer there.
The girl smiled gently, she tossed her hair as the night wind blew again. "I love you too, Ronan," she answered slowly.

Arielle returned to the inn where they rested for the night. In her room, Tania still hadn't slept, waiting for the princess's return. She didn't have to worry too much if Arielle was with Ronan. The woman was quite surprised to see Arielle's return sooner than expected.
"You're back?"
Arielle just nodded and grabbed the bag they were carrying, which contained a change of clothes. Arielle looked at Sasha, who was fast asleep on the bed.
