"William... Take care" words that seemed like farewell came from your mouth. Something from his chest doesn't feel right. Again, it seemed like a farewell, an everlasting one.

Silver bells rung from outside as your footsteps echoed through the room. You were just leaving the room yet it feels like you were being separated.

"Naturally, love" was all the masked man can say as his eyes trailed your figure. Once the door had shut, he felt an urge to read the story book once more.

"𝑨 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒃𝒍𝒆, 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒚𝒆𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒘  𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒇𝒇. 𝑻𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅, 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅, 𝒂𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈"

"A journey she never experienced for the first time... An odd phrase of describing such a thing..." He thought aloud and continued to read.

"What is it about these subtle hints?" He traced the image with his hands and continued.

"𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇, 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆. 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒉𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒔𝒐 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇"

"She wanted to find herself. She wants to be free, correct?" He questioned, looking into small details.

"𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝑵𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉, 𝑬𝒂𝒔𝒕, 𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒉, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑾𝒆𝒔𝒕. 𝑶𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔, 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒂 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒅𝒂𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒆𝒔"

"These four stones were the key... golden dawn... hasn't the golden dawn played a huge role in this?" William questioned.

"In the memory when we retrieved an item for the Wizard King, (Y/n) was supposed to die under the golden dawned sky" he said as terror creeped on his back.

"𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔, 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆. 𝑷𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒆, 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒇𝒆"

"Peaceful days came yet she was trapped more, how is she deemed to be somewhere safe?" The masked Captain formulated so many questions he hasn't got an answer to.

"𝑨 𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏"

"This pulse, I felt it... Perhaps..." He said as he widened his eyes in realization. They have overlooked such a simple message.
