The three (Aries, Abel, and Dexter) discussed anything but important things. It was as if they didn't get separated for the past two years. In the beginning, the atmosphere was still a little stiff, but over time, Aries was able to loosen up.
For the past two years, Aries finally laughed until she was tearing up. It was an emotion she thought she had once lost, but it seemed there was just nothing funny in the past two years. They didn't even lose topics, hopping from one topic to another, catching up until the sky turned darker and darker.
"Today, the summit commenced." Dexter cleared his throat, swallowing down the wine. "Will you just ditch it entirely?"
Abel shrugged, casting Aries a knowing look. "Depends on her decision."
"I can't." Aries sighed, staring at the wineglass in her hand. "No matter what, I am still the current queen of the mainland. Therefore, I had to do my duties."
