"Is it okay to sit here?"
The young girl looked at the sea of snow-white flowers, and at the crowd surrounding her with varying expressions. She raised her head and gently nodded to Delan beside her. In this ruined world, this flower sea seemed to her like the only pure land.
Among the crowd, Aleph unconsciously took a step forward, but someone held him back from behind. "Your Highness, they are still waiting for you to host the affairs at Kashan Palace." He seemed to recall the night he bid farewell to the members of the Seven Seas Travel Group, and for a moment, he stood there in a daze.
...
Outside Kashan Palace, Saisheer looked down at the pocket watch in his hand. He raised his head and looked at the heavy clouds in the sky. Guards patrolled the palace walls, and the wounded were carried under the tower, where there was a grove of palm trees and some temporary tents had been set up.
The tents were bathed in the misty morning light and remained silent.
