Within the peaceful and lush greenhouse, the four of us huddled around a treasure box. The note on top of it read 'the box is part of the hunt'.
Heh--I couldn't help but smirk. Well, at least she still worked diligently. Since I couldn't go anywhere during my 'pregnancy' and had no intention of letting her come to the Lord's Castle, I had passed the drops of Amrita through Heraz. It was also kind of a test, to see if she still acted diligently even if I didn't show myself in front of her.
Seemed like she still had some tact. Or because she hadn't found any alternative cure and someone strong enough to undo the hex. Well, the hex was made by D'Ara, so unless she found another Sacred Guardian, that would be unlikely.
