Chapter 310: Despondent Vera
Night falls quickly in the North. While the last sliver of the setting sun's afterglow still lingered on the horizon, the ink-black sky had already quietly spread overhead.
The bonfires in the plaza burned fiercely, illuminating half the night sky. The evening breeze, laden with the aroma of roasted meat and the sound of laughter, pushed the festive atmosphere to its peak.
As the four of them stepped out of the courtyard, whether they were Stayans or members of other tribes, everyone waved and greeted them enthusiastically.
“Lord Ansu! Miss Freya!”
“It's thanks to you that we were able to protect our home! May the gods bless you both with peace and prosperity!”
Vera tugged at Ansu’s sleeve, her eyes bright. “Wow, Brother! You two are so popular!”
“After all, they are the Chosen One and the Holy Maiden who saved the North and will save the world in the future!” Celia turned to Ansu with a smile and asked pointedly, “It seems that in everyone's eyes, you two are a match made in heaven! What do you think, Ansu?”
“Ah...” Ansu laughed awkwardly. “I don't think everyone is thinking that much into it.”
Beside him, Freya pursed her lips, wanting to say that people actually were thinking exactly that.
