Capítulo 63: Star-crossed

"I don't know where this sudden friendliness is coming from." Hershey clapped her hands gleefully as she took her seat. "But well, I'm not complaining."

"I just thought it'd be nice if we're in each other's debt." Cadmus started feeling decidedly worse every second. "I can tell the world that the great Lamprecht family owes me something."

"I'm an Aurelia. Not a Lamprecht. At least get the families right."
