Chapter 265: The Myth Of True Love
The sound of Callis’s hardened heels meeting with the cobblestone resonated on the path as she repeatedly tapped one of her shoes on the ground.
Previously, she had been sitting at the café for quite some time, patiently waiting for Kiev and Elis to return, but they were still nowhere in sight.
After finishing several cups of her drink, a sense of boredom overcame the Mederian Princess, prompting her to leave the café and wait for them outside.
She looked left and right, her eyes scanning the surroundings, wondering where they could be. Frustration crept into her voice as she sighed, realising she would have to continue waiting.
"Where could they be?" she muttered to herself. "They can’t have left me already, can they?"
Just then, an announcement caught her attention, emanating from the stall opposite the café.
"Fresh flowers for sale! Very cheap price!"
A dwarf woman holding a small basket filled with vibrant flowers was waving a rose stalk in her hand to attract passersby. Despite her efforts, none of them seemed to stop and take up her offer.
Nevertheless, the woman maintained an unwavering smile, enthusiastically waving and exclaiming her offerings.
The sun hung high in the sky, its rays intensifying, and beads of sweat formed on the florist’s forehead. Taking a momentary break from her persistent efforts, she carefully placed the rose back into the basket, setting it down on the ground.
Retrieving a handkerchief from her apron’s pocket, she gently wiped away the sweat that trickled down from her temple to her flushed cheek. The warmth of the noon sunlight had caused her freckled face to turn a rosy hue.
