The morning light appeared a bit earlier than usual over Ice Rock City, casting a veil over this city that just experienced great joy and deep mourning.
Perhaps even the sun knew that this day was special, willing to end the vigil of two sleepless people a little sooner.
The golden sunlight cast down on the dome of the church, coloring it with a dazzling halo.
The side door of the church opened, and Colin walked out hand in hand with Vera.
After a sleepless night, Colin was still alright, but Vera was so drowsy she could barely keep her eyes open.
Amidst the crisp sound of horse hooves, Knight Lyle personally brought the horse-drawn carriage to Colin.
However, Colin did not immediately get in the carriage.
Because he had already seen another figure standing outside the church — Scholar Doan.
Obviously, Scholar Doan got up so early, not in a hurry to pray for Duke St. Hilde, but to wait for Colin.
