“Where did you come across this particular Hwansu?” she inquired.

Eugene harbored a desire to encounter that Hwansu again, even if not immediately. Numerous questions lingered, fueled by her curiosity about the ancient tales from when the Hwansu served as the king’s companion. She wondered if another opportunity would arise to converse with a Hwansu unhostile towards humans.

Aldrit responded with a troubled expression. “I apologize, Your Highness. Even if I return to the location where I encountered the Hwansu, meeting it again might be beyond our control.”

As Aldrit bid farewell to the Hwansu, it shared its parting words.

“Next time you revisit that region, I won’t be there. I’ll choose a different path. Don’t expect the same stroke of luck. Even if you die, I won’t be aware.”

Eugene, upon hearing Aldrit’s account, felt a profound sense of disappointment.

“If it declared its departure, then it’s likely gone. There’s little we can do.”

While Aldrit might cross paths with the Hwansu again due to their connection, just as he fortuitously encountered it and found salvation, Eugene sensed that their reunion would be unpredictable.
