Selma Payne's POV:
Aldrich and my time alone lasted for a day. The next day, I had no choice but to leave the land of gentleness and return to being that all-conquering princess.
I was very reluctant when I left, but Aldrich didn't ask me to stay. Although his eyes told me not to leave, he still understood my responsibility and gently watched me return to the surface.
After being stationed in the Spring Rain Pack for a long time, even if the army followed the palace's orders from the top to the bottom, Aldrich's inexplicable departure and the empty position of the commander still stirred up some speculations.
This wasn't a big deal, and it was far from uncontrollable. However, being sick for a long time would reduce a lot of trouble in the future if we could suppress the bad signs early.
