章 218: Dressed Up to Nine's

The chimes hanging overhead rang as soon as I pushed the wooden door open and I was greeted with the familiar smell of old books and pages which immediately put a smile on my face.

'Ah… I missed this…'

The tower has a lot of books but it doesn't smell like this. Like pages tightly bound together and aged by years. Given that the room is massive and is magically restored all the time, it's understandable that there would be no lingering smells.

"Well, well... Look who's back," Nine remarked upon laying eyes on me.

One other person was also looking at me as I welcomed myself in and she was smiling so brightly this time as well.

"Lady Nadia!" That was Estelle.

"Hello, good afternoon," I greeted and walked further in.

"I didn't see Lady Nadia for more than a week, is everything well?" Estelle asked, concern dripping in her voice.

'She's such a sweetheart, isn't she?'
