บท 76: For New Memories

“What’s wrong?” Ace came to my side and studied me. “I thought that you would be...happy?”

I looked up at Ace, my lips tried moving and forming the right words out. “She’s...I…” I turned my attention back to Stella, who seemed uncomfortable whenever I looked at her. My heartache especially when she tried to hide behind the queen. “She’s different...she’s...older.” I muttered as I pictured what Stella looked like the last time I saw her.

My legs began to move all on their own. Viex jumped onto my shoulder while Custard simply walked with me as I approached her.

Queen Siera moved to the side so I would be able to see her. “Go on, child.” She gently pushed Stella towards me. Stella hesitated for a bit, but came to face me later on.

“Stella?” I managed to speak her name even though my lips were shaking with nervousness. “It’s me. Amy.”
