"Time?" Ellena's face beamed Her face and liht in the past year All her beauty was gone and if people didn't knoho she was, they would not believe that she was a noblewoman Her voice croaked She couldn't hide her happiness "Is it really time?"

Kira scoffed and nodded "Yeah Get out!"

"What month is this?" Ellena took her scarf from the floor and wrapped it around her back She noticed the knights wore extra coats which meant the temperature outside must be really low "Is it cold outside?"

Her cell was located on the base It had always been cold all year long So, she didn't knoas the temperature outside, unless she saw the outfit worn by the prison guards who came to deliver food every day for her

If their outfit was thin and light, she concluded it was summer because it was quite hot outside, and if they wore extra layers like today, it meant the world outside this prison was cold

"What do you think?" Kira raised an eyebrow

Ellena bit her lip "Can I get a coat? This scarf is barely enough to tackle the wind"

"No," Kira replied coldly "It's up to you though I have convinced the king to change your punish here in jail for the rest of your life into forty years of forced labor in the countryside I told hireed with erously and continued her words "If you prefer this cold cell for the rest of your life, I will go now and tell the king that it is easier to just keep you here"

Ellena's body instantly shrank and she shook her head vigorously The thought of staying in this terrible and cold cell another day frightened her so er cared about the cold

She didn't knohere she got the strength, but suddenly she could walk briskly out of the cell and wait for Kira outside

"Good," Kira shts ere sent by the court to pick up Ellena and bring her to the town center knew that they had to listen to Kira So, they let her lead the way

When they arrived outside the prison building, Ellena bore the cold wind and the bone-chilling temperature with only her thin dress and scarf She bit her lip so hard that blood trickled from it

Dammit From the scenery around her, Ellena could tell that this was already the end of autumn Perhaps, they would soon enter winter and snoould fall No wonder the teritted her teeth when she realized that she had been locked up for a year It's been such a long time and it had felt like forever, but she didn't really kno long it had been, until she was let out today

The hatred she felt for her father filled her chest to the brim

Just you wait she whispered to herself For what you did to me, you will pay back tenfold

I hate you, father

I hate you so on!" Kira ordered Ellena She tilted her chin toward a s "We will parade you to the town center so everyone can know your criht be stupid enough to go against the crown"

Ellena thought her tears were already dry and she couldn't shed anymore after she cried so much in the first on and hearing Kira's order, she couldn't help but cry despondently
