Bab 149: Story Time

Lloyd called out, raising an eyebrow as Kaisen and Elfie strolled in from the other side of the castle.

The rest of the group was there too. Maximus was wiping his sword with a piece of cloth, looking like a medieval Mr. Clean, while Alice kept stealing glances at Kaisen.

On the other hand, Sable was grinning like the Cheshire Cat, shaking her head playfully at the duo.

Elfie blushed at her antics and looked down, while the more experienced Kaisen just smiled, as if he had just shared an inside joke with himself.
