Book 16: Chapter 32
“Miss Luna.”
“Ah, Miss Freya.”
Luna stood up to bow. Freya smiled. She sat down on the chair in front of Luna. She gazed outside and softly laughed: “Miss Luna, it has been a long time since you worked, right?”
Luna lifted up her teacup with a smile: “Yes. It has been a long time since I have had so much free time. His Majesty is not here, after all; hence, I do not need to work. While I am a little upset over him not bringing me along, I know he is safe at Duargana. That is reassuring. I guess this is considered a short vacation for me. To be honest, I am quite happy.”
“I am in the same position. I have completed all of my current work, so I guess I get to have a short vacation for now. If there is nothing to do, I think we should go out. Miss Luna, what do you think? Let’s go for a walk outside this afternoon to buy some stuff and have some fun as ordinary girls.”
“I would be very happy to.” Luna merrily placed her cup down.
Life in the palace was still ordered as per usual. The people outside were leading their lives as per usual. Even so, the girls were lonely without their King. With that said, they also felt relieved to have some free time, which was rare. It felt akin to the clouds looming in the sky clearing away. Although it was nice, boredom eventually kicked in. Their King stated he wouldn’t be back anytime soon; therefore, all that they could do was patiently wait.

The situation in the elven lands was resolved. The child gave up her plans in the end. I took her to Mera’s house. She always liked her Sister Mera. Sadly, in the end, she didn’t get to visit her Sister Mera at her home. I watched the girl climb onto Mera’s bed and cry. I was overwhelmed with emotions myself.
