Although it took a few minutes, the ghost lady finally agreed to leave the cave she was guiding and follow Arthur.
With Arthur holding Victorique's hand, the ghost lady walked behind Arthur, her hands playing in front of her as she looked left and right nervously.
Arthur's gaze remained fixed ahead as he inquired, "Other than your reluctance to leave the cave due to the goddess, is there any other cause binding you to this place?" His voice reverberated through the cavern, mingling with the faint echoes of their surroundings.
The ethereal woman hesitated, tilting her head forward to catch Arthur's words more clearly. "I…I don't comprehend your meaning, My Lord," she stammered, uncertainty flickering in her spectral eyes.
Allowing a moment of reflection, Arthur rephrased his question, his every step resonating through the depths of the cave.
