Bab 40: Mission: Princess of Arcelia

(6 Months Later, Fintan Stable)

The sun was slowly sinking towards the horizon, filling the sky with a glorious display of reds and gold as it announced the day's end. Not a single cloud covered the vivid red hue of sunset in the serene summer sky.

A young boy was slouched casually against the doorframe of the stable, staring at the reddish-pink sky with an impatient yet excited face. He was playing with a yellow pebble in his hand. He was throwing it in the air and catching it again and again. But, his eyes looked dreamy, lost in a beautiful memory of a starry night, reliving the soft, petal touch of a pair of cherry lips on his lips.

Almost, six months had passed but the memory of the last night in the Arcelia was still fresh within Kai. He was still regretting leaving without telling her. At least, he could leave a letter for her, maybe a tiny message. But, he didn't do anything.
