Chapitre 77: Chapter 77: The Duke's Heir VS The Underdog Female Supporting Character (Part 17)

Ever since Gu Shengyin had saved her from the jaws of a Demon Beast three years ago, Joanna's attitude towards her had undergone a significant change.

Though she was still sharp with her words, Gu Shengyin could sense the goodwill Joanna was extending towards her.
