The Story of the Wind Wanderer
A Quiet Night #140

The capital city of Zephyra is quiet and quite quiet tonight. The wind blows very gently, bringing a calm atmosphere as well as the cold of the night. Although there is no moon in sight, the night sky still looks very beautiful with various constellations scattered on the night horizon. Queen Caitlyn looked at the beautiful sky in front of her palace courtyard quietly. The beautiful and graceful woman who was highly respected by all her subjects seemed to be wearing only a light blue casual long dress, and without a crown.

The castle was heavily guarded by many soldiers. The front gate of the castle fortress, each top of the fortress and the guard tower in the palace, were all filled with gallant warriors with complete weaponry. Not only the castle fortress that gets tight and layered guard, but, but the capital fortress that plays a role in protecting anything and anyone inside the capital is very large and wide it is also guarded by a lot of warriors. Not sleeping, they did their duty very well, faithfully guarding the capital's fortress and palace.

"You don't want to enter, Your Majesty? The air outside is very cold, and it's not good for your health" said a brunette maid dressed in black and white, standing behind Queen Caitlyn and bowing her gaze as she spoke.

"I'm waiting for someone, soon I'll be back in." Queen Caitlyn spoke in response to the question, turned her head and glanced back and continued saying, "don't worry, go back inside, I'm also not long outside, either ...!" then a small smile.

"All right, Your Majesty. If you need me, just call me" said the beautiful lady, lowering her eyes and head, before she moved back into the palace.

Now there was only a queen standing alone in the front yard of her palace - in fact she was not alone, as there were several warriors standing firmly in front of the gates of her palace. The beautiful woman seemed to be waiting for someone in the middle of her feelings of being hit by longing and loneliness.

King Aiden is not at the palace tonight, as he is at the Pearl Border. Prince Welt was also not in the palace, his eldest son was being preoccupied with his army of royal sorcerers to prepare them in the face of all possibilities. Although there were many servants, maids, and soldiers standing guard. But the palace still feels lonely, especially without the presence of his youngest son who is still a wanderer.

"Please indicate identity ...!" said one of the guards, blocking a reddish-brown girl named Bianca.

Queen Caitlyn seemed to smile happily at the arrival of someone she had been waiting for. Bianca appears to have followed the procedure by showing her identity card as a Zephyra resident, before being allowed to pass.

"Good night, Your Majesty." Bianca smiled, bowing her head slightly and her gaze when meeting the esteemed queen. His appearance looked very simple just by wearing a white long-sleeved casual shirt, and gray trousers. Although it looks simple, it does not reduce the aura of beauty and sweetness Bianca.

"What do you think you invited me to come?" bianca asked, slowly raising her head back and looking smiling at the graceful figure of Caitlyn who stood one meter before her.

Queen Caitlyn seemed to be smiling warmly and with her gentle gaze to Bianca she said, "it really doesn't really matter that much, anyway. I just need a friend to talk to tonight, are you ready?"

Bianca let out a small laugh, smiled happily and replied, "it's an honor for me, Your Majesty. However I can't get too late due to limited boarding rules, or I can get hit by getting angry by the hostel owner."

"No need to worry about that, Bianca. I've arranged everything, and the hostel owner knows about this, too." Queen Caitlyn seemed to be casually speaking with a smile that did not fade from her pretty face.

Not surprised by this - because more or less the same thing was done by Altezza who suddenly made him off from his job. Bianca smiled happily, lowered her head slightly as well as her gaze and uttered, "thank you, Your Majesty."

A very quiet night with a cold atmosphere and a very beautiful view of the night sky. Queen Caitlyn is finally not alone tonight, there is Bianca who is willing to accompany her to discuss some things. The beautiful and graceful woman immediately invited Bianca to enter the palace, and did not forget to entertain her guests with a cup of warm tea and some sweet biscuits.

Choosing one of his favorite places, also became the favorite place of Altezza. Queen Caitlyn invites Bianca to sit in a large elegant white gazebo in the garden next to her palace, while enjoying some of the treats.

"This place is one of the places in the palace that Altezza and I really like, we almost always spend free time in the gazebo of this park." Queen Caitlyn spoke very casually while sitting next to Bianca. He didn't seem to want to be too distant from the beautiful reddish-brown girl.

"There, the place where Shiro had lived when Altezza first brought to the palace," continued Queen Caitlyn pointed towards the corner of the park, see a large enough cage with iron bars that stand firmly in the corner of the park.

Bianca did not stop smiling, silently listening to every word that came out of the queen's mouth until it was completely exhausted. Queen Caitlyn seemed to slowly drink a cup of sweet tea that was still warm hers, and then spoke, "don't hesitate, Bianca, please drink and eat the biscuits ...! We're not in a formal meeting, so just relax ...!"

Bianca laughed awkwardly and said, "well, Your Majesty," while nodding her head and smiling awkwardly. The brunette girl really looked nervous. How not, the figure who was currently with her and conversing with her was a queen, the most beautiful and respected woman of all people in the kingdom.

Queen Caitlyn smiled gently looking at the awkward expression of the girl who was currently sitting next to her. The slightly blushing facial expression, further made the brunette girl look sweet.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you something?" bianca asked, speaking with a soft and low-sounding intonation.

"Of course, say ...!" caitlyn finished sipping her cup of tea.

The reddish-brown girl looked inclined to look down and asked, "is everything .... okay ...?" with a low-sounding intonation, depicting the uneasiness in his heart.

Queen Caitlyn slowly placed her cup of tea on a small plate on a ceramic table in front of her. The beautiful woman smiled slightly, understood where the question was going, and knew what she should answer it.

"My point is .. with the declaration of war already in circulation, I honestly harbor quite a sense of fear" continued Bianca, clarifying the context of the question he was asking. Both palms seemed unable to stay on his lap, always clenching and moving his two thumbs that touch each other, indicating that he was holding anxiety in his heart.

"We're only human, Bianca, and we can't predict or see the future." Queen Caitlyn responded to the question and anxiety in a very calm manner.

"Whatever happens the kingdom will never remain silent, and will always fight to protect every life that is in it, whatever the risk," continued the queen with a soft-sounding tone of speech, placing one of her palms on one of Bianca's shoulders as she spoke, looking at the beautiful girl with a sincere look, and then smiled warmly at him.
