Unnecessary Worry

"His majesty, King Titus, has returned to the castle." Said a maid who just came to Suzan and me.

"Already?" said Suzan. "That was fast."

That was fast. I would have expected hundreds of people to show up for King Titus' miraculous healing. Perhaps only a few arrived, or perhaps King Titus changed his mind about it. 

Maybe he exhausted his magic power by healing a few people. I am sure such incomparable magic must take a heavy toll on him. I probably should not ask him about it. He may be unhappy that he was unable to heal everyone.

Suzan and I hurried to finish preparing to go to the forbidden forest. Then, we went to meet the others in the entrance hall.

"Apologies for the delay." I said.

"It's alright, we'll leave as soon as you're ready." said King Titus.
