It's Time to Bring It to an End

In the palace hallway, Liliana walked calmly, her expression indifferent. In her right hand, she carried four letters in soft shades of pink, light green, light blue, and lavender—each meant for the four little girls from Leon.

"Hopefully, these letters will cheer them up. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if they start crying," Liliana muttered, feeling a twinge of helplessness.

Just as she reached for the doorknob, a sudden burst of crying from inside startled her.

"Fiona?" Liliana froze in place before quickly opening the door.

*Clack!*
