Chapitre 207: Clementine? Ysac Clementine?

"There's a hot spring not far from here. You might feel better after a bath."

"No, Princess. I must return to Clearport quickly to report to King Ragnar."

Aria's expression shifted noticeably when Ragnar's name was mentioned. Her warm smile transformed into a strained one, and the brightness in her eyes dimmed, replaced by a hint of sadness.

"Oh, of course," she replied, her voice wavering slightly. "Safe travels, soldier."

She quickly excused herself, departing before Ysac could respond, leaving him awash with conflicting emotions.

Ysac regretted wasting the opportunity to talk further, especially since Princess Aria had been so kind to him. He replayed the brief encounter in his mind as he left the common tent, feeling a pang of remorse.
