Chapter 118
The vine plant gently lowered me to the ground as if I were flying through the sky. The place I landed was in front of a small fountain in the secluded rear garden of the Imperial Palace.
And before me stood the Duke of Orgon, holding the rabbit-shaped Divine Beast, Liri.
“You’ve returned, Rosie.”
The Duke of Orgon was an old man with a head full of white hair, barely standing upright with the help of a cane.
“Did you finish everything you wanted to do?”
She smiled faintly without her mask. Gentle wrinkles spread around her eyes.
The reason such a feeble old man had come all the way to the Imperial Palace ball was because I had asked him.
Liri had to come to the palace in order to use his power, but I couldn’t bring him myself because of how it would look.
And Yuta, who had to stay far from me, couldn’t come either.
“Yes. Thank you very much for granting my request.”
I bowed politely, and the Duke of Orgon chuckled softly.
“Liri probably enjoyed using his power after such a long time. To be honest, there aren’t many chances for Divine Beasts to actually use their strength.”
