Interlude: Lianne

"SIGH! When will this end?" Lianne slumped down on the table. 

There was a mountain of paperwork for her. She was a free woman, she never liked to be stuck in one place, but for love, she changed. 

'Just hurry up and get back already.' Elves were a patient race. After all, they lived for a thousand years. But just this once, Lianne couldn't find the patience in her heart. 

And she wholeheartedly believed that the man she was in love with was going to succeed and come back to her. 

There were two large black spots beneath her eyes and it was past midnight but- she didn't have time for sleep. After all, there were so many things that needed to be resolved. And she had a promise to keep. 

KNOCK! Knock! "Your highness, you have a letter."

"Come in. From whom?" 'And at this hour?'

"One of Lord Daarc's comrades. The one named Alisa." A maid came inside the room.
