Capítulo 45: Not a word

“How do you mean?”

“Exactly what I meant. You said something about how these smell different in ‘my’ world. As though assuming I come from a different world.”

“You do not?”

“I don’t recall ever stating I was.”

“And Lady Maria too…” He said, making his way offering a small standing bow.
