　Although the town was surrounded by high walls, the gates were open and people seemed to be able to come and go as they pleased.

　I had heard that there was tension between the town and Belle Quatre, but the town was full of vitality, and the atmosphere of the residents was quite cheerful.

　When Xana bowed her head, King Vael said, still praising the smile on his face.

'So, your father--I hear you have a letter from King Vael. May I by all means show it to you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, come here.'

　Xana handed the letter to her attendant, who quietly carried it to the throne, where it passed to King Vael.

I see. You wish to resolve the tensions between our two countries, and to once again walk together as friendly nations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, my father thinks so.

　When Xana nodded, King Vael also nodded and said, "Of course we welcome you.

Of course we welcome you," he said. I have heard that a messenger of the Fire God has appeared and resurrected the late Queen Liphia to prevent conflict between our two countries.

　As I was thinking about this, King Vael suddenly looked at us and said, "Anyway, I hope you had a long trip.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Anyway, you must be tired from your long trip. I have prepared the finest lodging for you, so you can stay there today and relax and recover from your journey. We would have preferred to have you stay in the guest room of the castle, but we have a few visitors. I apologize.

　After the audience with King Vael, we went to an inn in the castle town, guided by the attendant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As he said, the inn was indeed very luxurious, and the rooms were decorated in such a lavish manner that one wonders how much it costs to stay there for a night.

　Could it be that they had really prepared this place for us in good faith?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought about that, but then I remembered how Xana had looked at that moment, and I reflected on the fact that I had been thinking foolishly, even for a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I asked her, "Zana, I didn't want to tell you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Zana, if you don't want to tell me, that's fine, but ...... did something happen with that king?

I said, "I'm sorry. I knew it was unnatural. I thought I was acting naturally,......," she said with a downcast look.

　Zana's eyes were downcast, but she continued, "It's that man.

　Xana gave us a look of disbelief as we raised our eyebrows.

'Nothing has changed,....... Nothing has ...... changed since then. The way I look--I haven't changed at all in over 10 years. ......"
