The White Knight Chapter Six-Shariene

The sun, climbing upwards to the highest point of the sky, revealed that it was nearing noon of that eighty-five degree day, with not a cloud in the sky, those blown away shortly after dawn. Maria was riding along the trees, going presumably towards the direction of King Alexander's castle. She was trying to retrace the route she had taken while being chased. However, she kept getting more lost.

The noon sun made Maria hot. She decided to rest in some shaded portion and wait for the day to get cooler before trying to find her way again.
