"Amelie, can we meet tomorrow? I'm also in the capital. Choose the time and reply to me."
Amelie stared at the message glowing on her screen, her brows knitting in quiet confusion.
"Why does he want to meet me now?" she murmured under her breath.
After a pause of hesitation, she began typing, her fingers moving slowly. "You can come to the palace in the morning." With a soft exhale, she set the phone down on the table and leaned back against the pillows, her gaze drifting upward in thought.
Her mind slipped to Flora. 'She's holding up so well… but how long can she endure like this?'
Pressing her palms together, Amelie closed her eyes in prayer.
"Please, Moon Goddess… clear the obstacles from my sister's path. Help her find her happiness. Don't let her suffer any longer."
As she opened her eyes, she heard the door click open and Gabriel stepped inside, dressed in his night clothes.
