After fully relaxing, Yuna felt a sense of ease for the first time, a true sense of ease.

She hadn't experienced this feeling for over three years.

In the beginning, she had only gone to the City of Dusk out of curiosity when she heard that a young boy had killed the Prime Minister and was dubbed the hero Allen.

She saw him.

But it wasn't Yuna who sought him out, he sought her out.

He left the national-level magic shield outside the City of Dusk and alone entered the labyrinth garden filled with the scent of witches.

In the end, he took out his sword and fought her for two rounds without hesitation.

If it weren't for that final blow, she believed those three women who followed him wouldn't have been able to break free from her confusion spell.

Honestly, Yuna had a great time during their first encounter.

The second time, she was just out for some fresh air.

In a small village, she met a woman who invited her to eat bananas.

Not only did she receive her with hospitality, but she also encountered that man again in her son's room.

Cyclone Theodore, a boy whose destiny became entwined with her own.

At that moment, Yuna had a feeling she couldn't put into words.

Ah~ so that's how it is...

Leaning against Cyclone, Yuna recalled everything that had happened in the past six months.

So... I already had... expectations...

The wind took away Yuna's final tears.

"Cyclone..."

Upon hearing Yuna calling his name, Cyclone supported her and let her look into his eyes once again.

"Then I'll look forward to it, looking forward to everything you bring me."

Cyclone nodded gently, and the two welcomed the next chapter with smiles.

With the absence of the Source of Darkness, the grasslands regained their lush greenery.

As Yuna looked at Cyclone, she also saw everything behind Cyclone.

Allen's adviser and the captain of the Wind Knights, as well as a figure hidden in the forest.

A sister as close as family, who hadn't come out of the forest.

But Yuna looked at her and smiled.

It's alright, everything is alright now...

These words in her heart didn't need to be spoken; she believed she had already understood.

Cyclone gently stroked Yuna's face with his right hand.

"Do you trust me?"

Yes, because I have already...decided to trust this man...

In response to their gazes, Yuna happily, gently nodded.

"I will find you again, my dear sister~"

No one heard the words that echoed in the forest, but when that voice was heard, someone had already silently left.

With the sound of footsteps approaching, Cyclone stood up first.

Yuna was still kneeling, under the influence of the Source of Darkness, the excessive release of magic power made her feel temporarily weak.

"Heh heh~ Impressive, impressive~ You truly deserve to be called Brother Cyclone~"

"Did it really, truly succeed!?"

With his back to the two of them, Cyclone didn't turn around, his eyes only focused on Yuna.

"I still have one more thing to do, and there's a burden that only I can bear."

Yuna nodded slightly, allowing her cheek to feel the warmth of Cyclone's right hand.

Just then, a new voice emerged.

"Oh my...?"

From Daniel's shoulder, a strange female voice could be heard.

"That place was like hell, no wonder you're the Demon General, as you're incredibly strong even when injured!!"

Cyclone listened without turning around.

"But finally, it's over. That monster actually committed suicide in the end!!"

Daniel also only looked at Cyclone's back, not noticing the small white snake on his shoulder.

"It seems things have concluded over there, and they're now gathering here."

Sonja glanced at Cyclone, then looked across to the other side of the forest.

"Lord Daniel, since things are wrapped up here as well, shall I relay this information?"

Daniel raised his hand and gently touched the small white snake on his shoulder.

"Release."

"What?!"

There was no exchange of glances, but Daniel understood.

"Run, Cyclone brother, you still have time."
