Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Preparations to travel to the frontier were completed quickly. There wasnt much to be done since Leah wouldnt be bringing much and she wouldnt be taking her ladies-in-waiting with her.

Leah looked at the man sitting across from her. His unfocused eyes were not unlike those of her ladies-in-waiting. Before she had still felt he was alive, but lacked the ability to discern things.

There was no answer. No matter what she said, she was only talking to herself. Leah looked into the Kings empty eyes and stood, feeling only unhappiness. The people who saw the Princess walking alone without any attendants were bewildered, but Leah didnt care.
