บท 76: My eyes were blinded by love...

Celestia's POV:

I sneaked out of the courtroom when all the mages were busy hailing the Silver Shadow. And the sad thing is that he didn't seem to notice that I was gone. He got what he wanted! Why would he care about me now?

I walked out of the emerald palace when the evening sun was still scorching the land. I didn't know where to go. Where could I possibly go now? I have nowhere to go and no one to rely on.

My legs took me automatically to the backside of the palace, which was the garden. The garden area of the court was stunning. There were so many beautiful flowers in there, and I didn't know the name of some of them.

Whatever! It doesn't really matter anyway. I sat down beside the shrubs of the bright red flowers. This is entirely my fault! If something happens to the Highlanders tomorrow, then it will be my fault!
