Chapter 148 - 147. Song of Ghost Princess
"So, it’s just the typical young master drama?" Tyler asked, sensing that Mana might have exaggerated the situation.
"You were off enjoying time alone with an angel, so Mana decided to drag you into this," Mana replied with a mischievous grin.
Tyler chuckled and patted Silvia on the head as she enjoyed a pastry, her innocent expression making him smile.
"By the way... Who is this guy?" Lily asked, her gaze shifting to the unfamiliar figure standing before them.
"Hello, I am Lutz. Lutz Evergreen, Astrid’s childhood friend," Lutz introduced himself, bowing slightly. All eyes turned to the disguised Astrid, who gave a small nod to confirm his identity.
"Hello, Mr. Lutz," Lily said with a polite smile, though her tone carried a hint of suspicion. "I heard that the candied fruits at the stall on 3rd Street are quite delicious. Could you get us each one?"
"Huh... Yeah... Sure," Lutz replied, clearly taken aback by the sudden request. Though confused, he headed off to buy the treats. The rest of the group understood that Lily didn’t fully trust the newcomer. Lutz, too, realised this as he walked away.
As soon as he was out of earshot, Lily spoke up. "I met the ’Manhunter.’ She came to check if we really lost the angel to the Phantom Pirates."
"At the port, I noticed some pirate ships docked. These pirates are really out in the open," Tyler added, his voice thoughtful.
"Well, no one dares to make trouble here unless..." Lily trailed off, her tone ominous.
"Unless?" Tyler prompted.
