Rio blinked, bewildered. What was this woman doing here? Of course he knew who she was. Not only did he hear her introduction earlier—she was also an important character in the novel, occasionally appearing at some scenes.
Soon, he realized what's Maria's intention is, he frowned, asking:
"What are you doing here?"
Maria smiled, ignoring the frown. Her hand took out a card from her coat pocket. It was a shining diamond card with a snowflake logo plastered on top. She handed it out, saying:
"Here. I want to be first before everyone else. Make sure to consider our guild Forgotten Winter before joining a guild, alright?"
Rio nodded wordlessly, reaching out to her hand as he took the card. He put the card in his chest pocket. He wasn't interested in joining any guilds at the moment, but it wouldn't be too bad to establish a connection with another major character. He stared at the icy haired woman, asking:
"Is that all?"
short chapter, sry for that
