With a gloomy mood, I finished showering and got my things ready. It was already close to noon, so we didn't have much time.
Apparently, the nobles and the people wanted to throw a party in my honor- so when they learned I'd leave today- or rather now- they were heartbroken. Bryce even cried like a toddler, wailing even.
Sigh.
Things were not going great.
Once I got my things, I moved towards the garden. On my way, countless maids, soldiers, nobles wished me luck on the battlefield and my quests. I still had no idea what the people actually thought of me or what I even did- according to them.
But I was still glad.
And at the same time, perhaps slightly guilty.

"I'll miss you." Lia hugged me.
We were pretty much on the verge of leaving. Ve had transformed and our party had gotten on top of her.
