Capítulo 316: Chapter 303 Lanci Obviously Has No Ambition_1

When the conversation ceased, it was as though every thought exchanged within had been frozen. It gave a semblance of time standing still.

In the silent office, only the minutest ticking of the clock and the crisp sound of rain pattering on the window could be heard vividly in this quiet principal's office.

The books on the office desk seemed to be engulfed by this tranquility. The bronze desk lamp nearby flickered slightly, casting a warm yellow glow onto the desk, merging with the deep wood grain to create a tranquil hue.

Duchess Cloris stared pensively at Lanci's desk.

"So, Miss Cloris, is there something bothering you that you need my help with?"

Lanci picked up a mug, its contents still somewhat warm, and took a small sip.

Duchess Cloris slightly lifted her head.

"I want to form an alliance with Mr. Rocky McCarthy to stop this war in the empire."

She answered very bluntly.
