"If I had a choice, I wouldn't have come. I don't have a single good memory here."
Reyne, the leader and representative of Auland's reinforcements, spoke bluntly, instantly causing the atmosphere to cool at Darsos' welcoming party.
"Your Highness Reyne is truly honest and direct. Although past events make one sigh, today is a joyful day. Let's leave that topic for another time. Your Highness is capable of setting past matters aside and making the correct decision for the greater good. As expected of the pride of the Northlands, the Princess Knight!"
Darsos maintained a gentleman's smile and led the way in clapping, helping ease the awkward atmosphere as everyone else hurried to follow his lead and clap as well.
