Capítulo 495: Chapter 495: Kinda Happy Ending

Happy ending? Well, kinda.

Trill and Owen and their Nona were long gone when we returned from Austria, though I wasn't surprised. At least I knew they were doing well and, if Trill's attitude was any indication, moving ahead with gathering the maji army.

And forgot about her.
