No one knew how long Ariana was there after the girl was too tired to cry or scream. Ariana just stood there until the girl suddenly stood back up after she finished hugging Duke Andrew's body. Ariana's eyes filled with pain as she returned to put on her helmet to hide her emotions from everyone else.
From start to finish, Ariana was unaware that Cornell saw it all. The girl was still trying to look tough as she calmly returned to the battlefield.
"Lady Aria…."
When Ariana had just returned, the girl saw another familiar corpse among many corpses her army had begun to collect to receive a proper burial. While being surrounded by Cale and Valencia, who were crying loudly, Albert's corpse closed its eyes as if he were asleep. A round wound hit his neck precisely. From the wound, Ariana could guess that the leader of the knights died from being hit by an arrow in the neck.
