"Zephyra, I'll be leaving the kingdom for now, so behave, okay?" I speak to Zephyra, who is in the castle garden, soaking up some sun and drinking a beverage.
"Alright, Pandora, come back safely," Zephyra says with a shy smile that warms my heart. We've become much closer lately, strengthening our bond.
She finally understands my love and no longer resists, which is a great happiness for me.
"Aokitsu, what are you doing here?" I question Aokitsu, who is merely observing the exchange of affection between Zephyra and me.
"... I'm just waiting... I didn't know you were going to leave again. Can I know where you're going?"
"No, go wag your tail for Freya, not for me." This is another annoying point about the time I've spent in the kingdom Aokitsu, like a true animal, has decided to cling to me as if I were her owner, which is not entirely wrong.
