Chapitre 747: Chapter 747: Not A Refusal

Arabella had to say this though for Princess Seraphina not to cling to naive thoughts that she would help for free. 

If there was something Arabella could do, she was willing to help as she, herself, had received a second chance at life. And she believed that as she had changed from her former ways, Crux could change as well.
