Note: For those who read the last chapter yesterday(7 August 2024), please check it out again as I've made changes to the confrontation between Mono and Aurora and made it a much better last encounter!
It was the party's first time meeting Grace, or at least the first that they remembered. She'd always been off somewhere else when they'd been to the castle, but now as she had arrived in Mono's place, they finally had the chance to meet up with the dark castle's head maid.
"The queen bids you well in your journey," with no hint of any emotion on her face, Grace politely bowed to the party. "You're welcome to stay here whenever you wish, and she even invites you to the castle if that's what you'd prefer over this inn."
Hearing the last sentence, Daine's whole family clicked their tongues. Squinting their eyes, they glared at Grace in anger, however, staying behind the party none of them wanted to make a scene…just yet.
