"So he will return after the Hunting Festival is over?"

Isabella asked after taking a sip from the teacup. She was having tea-time on the balcony table. 

"Yes."

Ella replied with a composed expression. She was standing beside the table.

"... I see."

Isabella said while looking at the tea in her cup in a daze. 

After a while, she took another sip from the cup and looked outside. From the balcony, the evergreen Guardian Trees could be seen. The trees were filled with red flowers as usual. Except for the Oakia Tree. Unlike other times, it was filled with blue flowers.

'I understand why it is said to be part of the Wisdom Tree, Zylbon… Zylbon also is covered with blue flowers all around the year.'

Isabella thought while looking at the Guardian Trees.

"The Guardian Trees look beautiful, aren't they, My Lady?"

Ella asked with a smile.
