Chapter 1157: Growing Up And Apart

Aloe and Maro had always had something of an odd relationship.

It started off as them simply being allies and fighting for the same cause. However, after they were put on the same team, they slowly began to realize the chemistry they had together.

However, none of them acted on it—not really.

Perhaps if they had been given enough time, something more could have blossomed in their relationship.

However, after the wedding, everything began to fall out of place.

The chemistry they felt had been unable to mature any further.

During her voyage within the Aether Branches, Aloe was able to discover more about herself and what she wanted, and within those ten years, Maro got married and had two children.

Their separation forever altered their paths, dissipating the embers of chemistry they had experienced.
