The Bodiless Knights

On their way to the coven, Charles never let go of her hand while Theron walked closely to her while glancing around constantly. She even finds some men and women murmuring to each other with the same serious expression. Some even run towards the forest.

Not long after, she finally beholds the mansion and the coven. Bella, Almira, and Earl were side by side, each looking agitated for some reason.

"Your Highness!"

She turned to a middle-aged man who called her. All heads in the area snapped towards her.

"Hi?" she replied unsurely.

Bella and Almira run towards her, engulfing her in a tight hug while Earl stood by her side.

"Thank goodness, you are here" Bella spoke, teary-eyed.

Maria also went to her side, giving her a worried smile before guiding Charles inside the mansion. She waved at the boy who happily waved back at her.

"See you inside, Princess Seira"

"Yes, see you there" she watched him until he vanished to the door.
