THE PERMISSION

Veronica waited for a reply from Elven King Erestor Culnámo. However, he didn't say anything. He seemed to be thinking of something.

"Your Majesty," she spoke.

King Erestor Culnámo looked at her and said, "Follow the path you must follow. However, you can always come here as this is your home."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

King Erestor Culnámo added, "There will be many circumstances that will make it unbearable for you. You must know that you can always step back. You have the right to choose the path that removes your hardship."

"…Thank you, Your Majesty."

Veronica found it extremely strange for the Elven King to speak out. He suddenly acted like a parent would to their children. Any child would expect their parents or guardian to support them emotionally – something Veronica never had when she was a child.
