Chapter 192: Prima Donna (4)
Upon hearing Sonia’s determined declaration, the one I had been waiting for, I circled my aura within me. The intoxication slowly wore off.
Finally, I feel like I’m waking up.
In my Tower, it was common etiquette to not use aura to stay sober while everyone was out drinking. Doing so was considered rude. As much as I loved this drinking etiquette, it was even more impolite to listen to Sonia’s serious decision-making while intoxicated.
My clothes... What? Why is my shirt a mess?
How drunk did I get last night? Was this because it had been a while since I last had a drink?
“I’m sorry, Sonia. Is it okay if I take a quick shower before we talk? I want to listen to you with a clear head.”
—Ah, well, you don’t need to go that far...
“I need to.”
Anyone who confided in me about their important decisions had to be treated with respect.
“There’s probably a stream nearby. I’ll be quick, so can you wait here for a moment?”
—Yes, Sonia answered, her voice quieter for some reason.
