Chapter 972: Unable To Change Anything

Aur had invited Valerie to have tea with him because he knew that the Dragon Princess was feeling very anxious.

As much as he didn't want to admit it, he too was feeling quite anxious, and he had been unable to sleep for the past few days due to worry.

Seeing the dark circles on the plain-looking girl's face, he knew that he wasn't alone in his suffering.

"Aur, do you think that Sir Lux will come?" Valerie asked. 

She already knew the answer to this question, and yet, she still asked it, hoping that Aur would give her a different answer to ease her worries.

"He will come," Aur replied. "We both know this already. The only question is what will happen after he makes his appearance in the Divine Empire."

Valerie's hands, which were holding a teacup, trembled. She lightly bit her lip before putting her cup on top of the table and lowering her head.
