Capítulo 44: Leriat IV

"Yes, I had enough rest, and I enjoyed our time together. Thanks."

Adelle smiled. "I had a great time, too. It was nice having you here. Take care on your journey, Big Sis!"

Giori mustered a smile and turned to walk away. "Goodbye, Adelle. Perhaps our paths will cross again someday."

As the womanly figure slowly disappeared into the depths of the dark forest, Adelle couldn't help but feel a wave of nostalgia wash over her.

Memories of Rumabel, her friends, and the hunting parties she used to embark on flooded her mind.

The camaraderie, the thrill of the chase, and the shared triumphs—she missed it all dearly.

However, dwelling on regrets was not in Adelle's nature. She had made a choice, and while it meant leaving behind her bestie, she understood that it was a consequence of her pursuit of freedom.
