THIRD PERSON'S POV

AS the sun slowly bloomed on the horizon like a golden petal that seemed to reach outward endlessly, granting an illuminating radiance in the waves and calm of the sea. Its colours were bringing a gentle pat on the soul of each people who thought that they wouldn't see it again after the disaster they faced on the bleak night earlier.

They were really alive; they were really standing while gazing at the sunrise. They really withstood when they thought they wouldn't stand a chance. Their hearts were filled with so much emotions as they all thanked the heavens and those who fought for their safety.

Mildred, on the other hand, quietly and quickly went to her master, who didn't move even a flinch since landing on the sea. She bowed her head to him, she could see the cuts, fatigue, and weakness in him, but somehow he was at peace.

"Mildred..." he called in a soft quiet voice, almost a whisper.

"Your Highness," she mentioned ready to obey whatever he wanted.

"Please create a portal... My wife needs to rest somewhere comfortable..." His tired voice made Mildred's heart hurt a little. It made her realize how much his young master had grown up in a short amount of time.

Walang imik-imik na sinunod ni Mildred ang sinabi ni Kallisto. Kaagad siyang gumawa ng portal at ang destinasyon no'n ay walang iba kung hindi sa silid na tinutuluyan ni Evienne sa kapital ng Elysia.

Kallisto carefully embraced his sleeping wife and moved his body. He walked toward the portal that Mildred created. He was careful not to disturb the invisible little fox on Evienne's body, too. It had also been a rough night for the young Yule.

After that, he arrived at Evienne's room shortly, and Mildred automatically called for Leah.

Leah, who was already waiting for her lady, was shocked to see her state. Halos hindi niya napansin si Kallisto na may hawak dito. The young madame was pale, bruised, bleeding. "M-My lady!" mangiyak-ngiyak na imik nito at napatakip sa bibig.

Kallisto glared at her coldly, and that was when she realized that he was carrying Evienne. Napalunok at nabato siya sa kinatatayuan. Pero hindi siya pinansin ni Kallisto at inilagay si Evienne nang tahimik sa kama.

"Clean her up and call our doctor and priest. Make sure she's okay." Sumunod kaagad si Leah sa sinabi ni Kallisto, samantalang nanatili si Mildred dahil alam niyang may ibang inuutos sa kanya ang amo.

Kinuha rin ni Kallisto ang tulog na si Yule at hiniga sa tabi ni Evienne, he put some Abyss on him for him to recover a little. And giving him some abyss almost made Kallisto collapse on the floor, which alerted Mildred.

But he immediately put his hand up before she could hold him. Mildred wanted to heal Kallisto a little, but he knew she had also been using her powers all night, so he refused. Nagsalita na lang siya ng ilang iuutos dito.

"Check if Lincoln, the owls, the knights, and Willow is fine. Bring Willow here immediately, too. Make sure all our people are attended."

"Your Highness, you need to rest, too..." nag-aalalang sambit ni Mildred dito.

"I will; I just need to ensure that everything's fine with our people."

Napabuntonghininga na lang si Mildred dahil alam niyang hindi niya rin mapipigilan ang gusto nito.

"The Saint might call for you and the Celeste," she told him. They weren't in the Seventh Kingdom, so it was given that the Saint and the Shrine officials would move and talk to them about what occurred last night.
