Chapitre 135: To Darkshore

Night.

The sky was completely dark. But it would occasionally light up as longing flashed through the sky.

The Royal Palace of Nemphis.

Evelyn was busy with paperwork in her study, while Maria, her cousin, was beside her- helping her with the work. 

It was not Evelyn who asked for help but it was Maria who approached with the intention of forcefully helping Evelyn.

Though they have been working together for quite the time now, they barely shared a word among themselves. Maria could not take it anymore.

"Eve! What's wrong with you?" She blurted out. "You have barely spoken a word for the last few weeks."

Evelyn went on with skimming through the papers. She did not even give Maria a look as she answered, "I was busy."

"Hmph!" Maria snorted. "You did not have the time to converse with your dear cousin, but you had the time to finger yourself, is that it?"
