Outside the cabin on the outskirts of the imperial palace grounds, surrounded by lush forest, a gorgeous young maiden in a servant's uniform sat on a wooden stool at the cabin's edge….
Her worried gaze locked onto the far-out palace grounds, all the way to the direction that led to the vast palace gates.
It's been several days since her lord hero left the palace with the rest of the hero party on their mandated escort mission of the holy saintess, and his absence has been most unbearable to Florielle.
A lot of things have happened since then…. Since she last hugged her lord goodbye.
Now she regretted….
She regretted not holding him tightly for much longer…..
she regretted never saying the words to him she so desperately wanted to…..
She regretted that, after all was said and done, they hadn't really formed a deep enough bond…
