Kapitel 148: Small Talk

"Well…..That's kind of you to say, but I don't want to overstay my welcome. Besides, there's nothing left for me to do here. I'm moving on."

Valeria's eyes narrowed as she listened. So he was leaving the city. That meant he was done with whatever business had brought him here in the first place—most likely the bandit problem. He had come and dealt with the bandit leader Korvan, and now he was free to go wherever he pleased.

Sadly, she was not that free.

Valeria pushed the door to the inn open, the heavy wood creaking slightly as she stepped inside. She had no desire to listen to any more of Lucavion's carefree banter, and the reminder that he was free to leave while she remained stuck in this situation only soured her mood further. The weight of her responsibilities pressed down on her, making her feel as if she was dragging her feet.
