Farcia's New Path

It was as if the atmosphere had been frozen in place by her words. Time seemed to slow, and all the sounds within the scripture hall instantly fell silent.

Just one sentence had an overwhelming effect on the overall mood. The previously lighthearted air suddenly shifted to one of tension.

"What do you mean by saying you won’t return to the kingdom?" Olivia was the first to break the silence, her face showing clear concern. She hadn’t expected such words from Farcia.

Farcia’s refusal to return to the Refania Kingdom with Olivia and Arias was not difficult to interpret. If she wasn't planning to stay in the Celestial Garden, then it likely meant she wished to part ways with the king and Refania altogether.

Given Farcia’s minimal interaction with the gnomes and her lack of interest in the rare plants within the grove, it was likely the latter reason—she sought to forge her own path.
