— Frey Starlight's POV —
"Only three days?!"
I asked the startled guard, who was clearly shaken by the sudden appearance of the Starlight heir emerging from the Nightmare land.
"Y-Yes, my lord… technically, this is the third day."
"I see. Return to your post and inform my sister that I've returned."
"Understood."
I gave him the order. Normally, he wouldn't even listen to me ... but after seeing how easily I knocked him down, he didn't dare say a word.
Once the guard ran off, I turned to Snow and Ghost, both still reeling from what had just happened.
"What the hell is going on? I know we weren't keeping perfect track of time, but three days?!"
"I suppose time flows differently here than it does there…"
Somehow, a single day here was equal to an entire month over there ... making our months-long journey feel like a blink of an eye to those on Earth.
"I guess that's a good thing. At least we don't have to explain much."
Ghost chimed in, then looked directly at me.
