Kapitel 270: Elysia's Burden

However, Elysia's answer contrasted with his expectations. "Today, I challenge you to a magic duel for the family's head position.

But she promised to buy the duo at least five hours to find the grimoire.

Thus, with resolve hardened, she bit the bullet, stunning everyone with her sudden challenge.

Hushed whispers followed her request as her family members' sad glances landed on her.
