Small Hope

Aurdis had never felt this kind of feeling before since her mother's death.

That was seven years ago. But now it turns out that something else is driving her to feel a longing that is almost the same as the loss of her mother.

Aurdis sighed. There was nothing she could do now. She could actually call Erend with her mind. But that would be very annoying.

The man had already had too much trouble. He had even solved the big problems of her kingdom.

Aurdis felt that she was already indebted to Erend too much. Now, she had to solve all the problems herself.

Aurdis continued to read the book. Outside the tent, a strong wind blew and made a rustling sound as the leaves moved against each other.

It was still noon, however, the light in this forest was minimal.

The coming storm swallowed the warm sunlight. The thunder rumbled along with the stormy winds.

Every time lightning appeared and cut through the darkness, Aurdis flinched. Because she knows what follows after that lightning.
