It's Time

The next day, it was finally time for the Megaris delegation to leave. After meeting the King and Queen of Othinia, the Megaris delegation was ready to departed. The Crown Prince of Megaris, Prince Reuben, came to see them off. Cian also arrived to bid his sister farewell.

"Take care on the way," Cian said.

"I will," Seren replied, then asked, "Are you going to stay here longer?"

He shook his head. "I will leave at noon after spending some time with my cousins."

Seren knew he was referring to his cousins who had secretly helped him under orders from Queen Niobe.

"Take care as well," she said and sat inside the carriage after Drayce helped her in.

Cian offered a light bow to Drayce. "Have a safe journey."

Drayce replied with a nod, "You as well," and then sat in the carriage.
