It had been a few hours since Arin and Iria left Vialand.
Crown Prince Andres was also about to leave with Zane and a few soldiers who escorted him to Vialand. As it was their neighbouring kingdom, he didn't need as much time as the Qalagon royal couple did. So, he waited till the sunrise.
As he was standing beside his horse, patting and brushing his horse with his palm, Crown Princess Maria came to see him off.
Andres observed the lady beside him and realized that she seemed to be quite composed than that day. It's like the one in his memory was back.
"Cedore is just five days away," Maria Kareno started. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I shouldn't let my father handle all the work alone for long, right?" Andres Francia responded with a little smile.
"How is Uncle Kalos?" the Crown Princess asked. "It's been a while since I last saw him. Aunt Amina too."
