Chapter 531: All older sibling would matured with the arrival of the little one
"Oh?" my eyes widened before they narrowed in suspicion. "Is this why you let me visit Shwa without a fuss?"
Natha flicked my nose and looked at me like a victim of false accusation. What? Was I wrong? He shook his head and gave his defense. "Of course not; I’m going to let you visit the shed no matter what. I know you must have been worried about Shwa after all of that."
Oh, my...you had become so wise and generous, my Lord.
He pinched my nose this time, as if enacting some revenge. "Besides, she didn’t say anything about finishing that spell."
"Huh?"
"I had been sending her letters every few hours since yesterday, so she was probably fed up with the pile of parchments and decided to just give up and give us an update so I’d stop disturbing her," Natha shrugged and chuckled lightly.
He sounded dismissive, as if it wasn’t a big deal, but I could tell he was actually hoping for the best; that D’Ara would come with the spell ready. I knew because...that was what I felt. How nice would it be if our problem could be solved like that?
Kind of...kind of like a gift, you know, after this whole debacle.
But, well...I knew from experience that it would be more helpful to keep our expectations to a minimum.
"Mm...okay," I nodded. "So you think she’ll just give us an interim update and leave?"
"Something like that."
