"High Priestess, I'm a little tired. I'd like to go back to rest," Sally whispered at Helena's side.
Helena flicked a glance at her before nodding. "Go ahead."
Sally got up and left the boisterous meeting hall. Then, she left the city lord's castle.
Walking in the cold winter wind, there were no pedestrians on the street and the long streets looked rather desolated.
A familiar yet strange city.
That day, she gathered all her courage to leave the forest and ran all the way to this city.
She had wanted to travel around the continent initially, but she stopped at a small restaurant.
Thinking back about it now, that time seemed to be the only time she was living for herself in her whole life.
"I wonder… if they are alright?" Sally looked towards the south of the city with a hesitant look on her face.
After a long time, she still walked towards the south.
