"Denice?" Maximus muttered, looking blankly at the woman in his arms.
"What? Don't you miss me?" Denice winked.
Because her mother dragged her after the assembly.
She didn't have time to talk to Maximus.
To meet Maximus, Denice had to stand up and crazily advertise their relationship with those old fogies.
"I miss you very much..." Maximus pinched her cheeks.
This little chick dared to eat him yet left hastily without reminding him.
"Isadora Celestine, one of the leaders of the Lorekeeper Guild. Nice to meet you, Maximus Shadowcrest," a kind-looking lady greeted him.
"It's my pleasure," Maximus smiled politely, still hugging Denice in his arms.
"I see that my daughter took a liking to you," Isadora teased a little.
"Mother!" Denice yelled shyly.
"I like her too~" Maximus smiled, tightening his hug with Denice.
