A rose for the princess

 Abrielle got back to her seat; just as expected, the battle was almost over, and only a few monsters were left. Her thoughts strayed to the conversation she had with Bernice.

 

 She was also curious about the foreigner that helped her that day. She didn't know his face or name. She wondered if he was still in Vitalis remembering the conversation he had with Eleanor where he mentioned that he might hang around longer to see Cedric.

 

 Bernice arrived back at the booth; she spared Abrielle a glance before heading over to her mother's side, where Callista was also seated.

 

 Astrid was not here; she was with her husband's family, which was a military family. Her husband, being the dukedom heir, was a general.
