Bab 496: Chapter 496-To Never Fall Into True Heartlessness.

'Sigh...let's deal with this first...'

Austin thought as he lightly patted Marlene's head, a sleep spell covering her. With her current mental situation, she quickly succumbed to it. After all, she hasn't slept for some 'years'. Austin could soon feel the chaotic aura around Marlene calming down, her hug that was getting too tight slowing down as her head fell blissfully to his shoulder.

Within a few seconds, she was fully out, and seeing so, Austin slowly took her body away from him. He moved her around such that her head lay peacefully on his lap. Just from looking at Marlene's face, Austin could tell through the suffering that she went through, and he could sigh himself at it.
