Having put the finishing touch on the ritual by offering Cola produced at the factory as a dedication, Stella made her preparations to depart. "Could you cinch these backpack straps tight for her?"

- Chapter 121 Chapter 121. Situational Awareness (3) Penelope walked through the streets of Notaris, luggage bag in hand. She had no particular destination in mind. She had made up her mind to accept Great-Uncle Hector's proposal. What came after was obvious. Penelope would be married off in an arranged political marriage almost immediately.

In other words—what you don't know can't hurt you. And so Serena became frightened. So frightened that she could do nothing but spin in circles where she stood. "Aren't you getting dizzy?" Brigitte's gaze—placed there in lieu of a comfort doll—spun round and round following Serena. "Why on earth......?" No…

We will need to monitor her condition for the time being, but you may set your worries aside." At the doctor's words, the rims of his doctor's eyes flushed red. "Thank you, truly thank you, doctor..." It was Cecily who had insisted on coming to Nortaris, but it was Hector himself who had permitted it and brought her along. Had anything…
