Chapter 36: Marcy’s In Danger

Miss Amelia didn't take me leaving to heart. Not that she could've, what with her party leaving the next day for the expedition's meeting place in the capital.

Everything calmed down, things going back to normal. Ignoring the way I had piled myself on with more work than normal people could've handled, everything was fine.

It was a great distraction, my previous mistake making me think I should've found a different way to distract myself outside of my vices.

Sofia wasn't talking to me much though. Every time I needed to talk to her, I had to pass the message on through Maurice or the girl's brother. And Maria wasn't around either, having gone off to the next town over for a bit of a vacation.

That meant I didn't have the usual people around to help distract me, so overworking was it. That and spending any other free time I had apologizing to Sofia but she was harder to get through than the hide of a basilisk.
