Aria no longer heard the rumors of people behind her, indicating that she had gone deeper. She was relieved that she didn't have to listen to voices against her or see the many unfamiliar faces staring at her with probing eyes.
This made her feel uneasy, even though Lyod was by her side. Prolonged restlessness was not good for her, considering she had dark force.
Hence, Aria walked with ease and joy as if she was strolling in her yard.
If it had been anyone else, she would have walked over with a heart filled with worry and dread. Her eyes would glance in all directions for traces of the beasts that were hiding secretly. But it was different for Aria.
Instead of feeling anxious and restless, the girl felt happy and walked at a steady pace. Her eyes did dart in all directions, but only to enjoy the scenery around her. After all, this was the first time Aria had crossed this forest road from the outside to the inside.
