The following day, Ophelia and company departed from the red-light town and continued their journey towards their next destination.
Ophelia can feel that the atmosphere between her knights is serene and peaceful, as if a weight has been lifted off their shoulders.
The tension that once filled the air has dissipated because of the solemnity of their responsibility.
They are still solemn about their jobs. However, they now approach it with a newfound sense of calm and unity.
She can tell that they are calm and happy. She wondered what they were doing the night before for them to feel so at ease.
She has some guesses, but she has to act oblivious to avoid any awkwardness.
As she gazed out through the window, Ophelia caught sight of a particular tanned knight outside her carriage, riding his own horse gracefully.
