[Margaret's Perspective]
While we were changing our mode of transportation by the shores of Mol Lake, Licia sharply realized that Elliot had disappeared. She stood on the other side of me and Donald, her expression changing unpredictably, seemingly lost in thoughts.
Feeling a warm, large hand grasping mine, I came back to my senses and looked towards Donald, who gave a light smile before speaking directly, "It's not a solution to keep being dragged by Licia like this. We need to think of a way to send her back to the Royal City."
"You're right, the journey to Lilo Sea could be dangerous, and having her with us would only distract me and slow all of us down." Donald gripped my hand, nodded, and earnestly agreed with me.
