章節 69: Awakening

Lady Rosaline's face flushed as she withdrew her hand from Evan's grip.

"I...I must excuse myself," she stammered before hastily retreating to the gates of the shrine.

Evan, feeling a bit embarrassed, made his way back to the lively crowd.

"Well done, Frostbite!" exclaimed Lirian, slapping him on the back. "You've truly outdone yourself this time."

"I can't tell what you are congratulating me for," Evan said with a grin.

Was he congratulating him for being the most talented individual, or was he congratulating him for making Lady Rosaline flustered, something he had done unintentionally? 

"I must admit, I am thoroughly impressed. You have surpassed all expectations, Your Highness." Annika also offered her congratulations while maintaining a respectful distance from him.
