บท 769: These Damned Skies

When Ryu stepped into the library of the second floor, he immediately gained three sharp gazes observing him. But, there wasn't the slightest thing serious about any of them. 

His Master had a ridiculous grin on his face, Flora looked him up and down as though she was observing meat at the local market, and Morvar's usual calm, cold and quiet demeanor had become tinged with a frown of jealousy as though he was trying to understand what bullshit luck this brat slipped and fell into.
