Chapter 129: Human Aphrodisiac
Just as Lance was about to lower Cecilia from his back to check on her, he clearly felt her arms tighten around him.
“I’m fine.”
Cecilia buried her face in the rough fabric and muttered softly.
“It’s just that my ankle suddenly hurt a little earlier.”
Hearing the girl say it was nothing serious, the worry hanging in Lance’s heart finally eased.
Actually, while they had been walking earlier, he had already caught a glimpse of the system notification window indicating that the Half-Elf research progress had leveled up.
But because of Cecilia’s strange reaction, he hadn’t dared let himself get distracted enough to carefully examine the exact contents that had popped up.
Right now, the most important task was to safely escort the injured girl back to the manor as quickly as possible.
When the two of them finally arrived at the gates of White Oak Manor, they happened to run into Yuna, who was heading out to buy something. She conveniently stepped in to support Cecilia and took her upstairs.
