Dorothy's POV:
"We've already wasted too much time tonight. Now, let's restart our original plan."
Even after I passed through the door, I still felt that tonight's encounter was really magical.
What was the principle behind this door? Was it some kind of sorcery? But I didn't sense any magic fluctuations. Or was it some kind of mysterious power exclusive to the elves? Had it always existed? Or was it because of the princess's sacrifice?
'Guardian spirit' was a broad concept, so what kind of existence did the princess have? An eternal soul? Or had it already merged with the palace?
Was she a part of the palace? Or was the palace a part of her?
I might never get an answer to these questions, and the Great Elder obviously wouldn't tell me such secrets.
