Chapter９

Sucy said, "Soon."

Ella's pulse was pounding so hard that her hands were trembling as she strolled along the peaceful road.

She's been on the road for a while, but she still hasn't managed to meet anybody.

Due of the eerie silence, she was terrified to travel there alone. She couldn't believe it was the same bustling street she'd heard so much traffic on before. This time, it seemed as if she was passing through a desolate wood.

It's incomprehensible that her own family would treat her this way. Put her in danger of dying by herself? Why??

She hoped not to perish in the process. Knowing that the King had a solid cause for ordering a lockdown made her even more terrified of being discovered.

She approached the cave cautiously and nervously, her hands wrapped about her shoulders. A squeaking noise startled her, but when she looked up she saw that it was simply a bird passing above. Oh! Only the Spirits can keep the bad guys away from her.
