Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

With only four days left until the wedding, Carissa was growing Increasingly anxious as her master and the others hadn't yet arrived.

She went to ask Kyle, "Has Master sent any pigeon post? When will they get here?"

Kyle was busy carving something with a chisel, and only seemed to remember when she asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Master did send a pigeon saying that they won't be coming to your wedding. He said that once you have time, you should bring Prince Rafael to visit them at Meadow Ridge." "They're not coming?" Carissa was deeply disappointed. "But didn't they say they would?"

Kyle chuckled, "You know, Master doesn't like to move around much these days. He prefers to lie down when he can, sit when he can't lie, and stand only when absolutely necessary. Especially in this cold weather, he's even lazier. So, he decided not to come. Instead, you'll have to visit them when you have the chance"

"But if Master isn't coming, what about the other guild seniors? They could come, couldn't they?

Kyle shook his head. "If Master isn't coming, they won't be coming either. You haven't visited Meadow Ridge since you left at fifteen, and you haven't kept in touch.

I doubt they're invested enough to go that far now."
