"Lady Aria, I almost looked for you. All the troops are ready to depart. King Alexius will personally escort us out of the palace."
When Ariana came back, the girl was approached by Valencia, who looked worried about her. Ariana quickly nodded. "Sorry to keep you all waiting. We're leaving now," she informed her. With a whistle, Ariana's horse ran on its own to approach the girl. Ariana patted her horse gently before climbing onto her back smoothly.
Before leaving, Ariana took the time to stare at the royal palace building for one last time. Her face was filled with complicated feelings as she finally decided to refocus on the road in front of her. As a member of the Alison family, Ariana would automatically become the supreme commander of all forces. The girl split the line of troops to be at the forefront while Valencia and Cornell lined up behind her, along with the Knight of Alison.
