Mrs. Faria smiled, watching Ellyn with knowing eyes.
"Why do you want keep that appearance, my lady?"
Ellyn turned away slightly, avoiding her gaze.
"…Nothing."
Mrs. Faria chuckled softly.
"You know, you don't have to. You could just be yourself—your true form."
She gestured slightly.
"Your real, grown-up body."
Ellyn sighed, leaning back against the seat.
"I will… once we reach our kingdom."
Mrs. Faria nodded knowingly.
"If you say so, my lady."
Ellyn glanced out the window.
The familiar sights of Yumia Town were growing smaller in the distance.
At last—
Her mission was complete.
Even if someone tried to kidnap her now…
Even if they locked her away…
No one would ever be able to take her special ability for themselves.
Not anymore.
Not after the pinky promise.
She smiled to herself.
No matter what happened—
Hazuki was the only one who could ever receive her power.
Mrs. Faria sighed, watching Ellyn closely.
"My lady…"
Ellyn turned toward her.
