"Are you spying on me?"
"No... Lady Sofia, this isn't a secret at the higher levels, the only one unaware that everyone already knows, is you."
Sofia:...
"However, if I recall correctly, it's been a long, long time since you've received any new letters. The person you're waiting for... will they really come?"
The old priest asked.
Hearing his words, Sofia's gaze became somewhat dazed.
"I... I don't know."
"But, I want to wait a bit longer..."
Looking at her somewhat lost gaze, the old priest sighed:
"I understand..."
After speaking, he glanced at the sky and said:
"It's getting late; I shall return to the venue."
"You seem a bit tired, don't stay outside for too long."
After speaking, the old priest left.
Leaving Sofia alone, standing at the street corner, staring at the distant street scene in a daze.
The conference ended shortly after.
The sun gradually set, and the crowd gathered in the square slowly dispersed...
Before long, dusk... had arrived.
