She responded, "She shares the same features as me, but her beauty comes from my big sister. I can see the resemblance."
Archer smiled. "Thank you, Hecate. I'll come to see you once I'm finished here."
The moon elf approached him and pecked him on the cheek before returning to the domain, seemingly ignoring the girls.
Nefertiti voiced her thoughts. "Why is she so rude? She doesn't acknowledge us even though we share the same husband."

The pink princess calmed down and nodded. It was then that the Sparrows returned, and Talila spoke. "We've been paid and can head to my village."
Archer nodded and began his journey northward towards Wildwood Crossing, and ultimately, to the forest.
