"In the end, I was not able to stop him. Looks like I made a mistake by coming here?" Ash muttered softly as he stared up at the sky, his voice low and uncertain.
"Are you worrying about my husband?"
The unexpected voice made Ash turn his head, and standing beside him was none other than Lumielle, the Queen of Unicorns. Her presence was calm and dignified, yet carried a quiet strength.
Ash let out a small, awkward laugh. It was not genuine, but it was an attempt to lighten the weight on his chest.
"It's true. I am worried about him. Although our first meeting wasn't exactly pleasant, when I think about it from his perspective, I feel like it was justified."
His voice lowered even further, carrying a faint trace of guilt. "He has helped me many times since then. I don't want anything to happen to him because of me."
