Night Talk

Aurdis felt anxiety starting to rise in her heart. But, she won't think about anything before Erend says it all.

"What problem do you want to talk about?" Aurdis asked.

Erend spread his gaze around. They are now in the middle of the garden.

The garden seems to be located behind the palace and looks deserted.

Traces of that incident are still clearly visible. The shattered roof of the building and the tower that was broken in half can still be seen.

"I'm sorry for asking you to meet tonight," Erend said apologetically.

"It's okay," Aurdis replied with a smile. "I'm glad to see you again."

Hearing that made Erend smile. Even though he had felt tired a moment earlier, seeing Aurdis' smile and hearing her happy to meet him made the tiredness vanish in an instant.

It was replaced by the feeling of joy that might only come when he was with Aurdis.

"I'm glad you said that," Erend said.
