Bab 111: Chapter 8. Letter to Elsa

«I'll be back as soon as I get my affairs in order.»

«Really? How long will that take?»

«I'll… I'll try to get it done as soon as possible.»

It had been two and a half years since Elsa and I last spoke.

I often thought back to her last words and wondered when that time would come. And would it ever come at all…?

For some reason, it was at night that the heaviest thoughts overtook me.

Since tomorrow I would be introduced as the new crown princess, I thought about it all day long. The sun was already behind the horizon and dusk had fallen, when I was still sitting on the bed and looking out the window.

Her mind was completely blank.

Melinda was anxiously watching from the sidelines, as I'd even given up on dinner. Tonight was the first time I'd had the chance to go down to the dining room alone, since Rachel was so busy with the final preparations for the banquet.

It was said that she had hardly left her office today.
