Chapter 23: 023. Maria Theresa (2)
It's a strange thing.
Maria, who was left speechless by Arwen's almost magical ability to bring tea in an instant, thought to herself. She had just seen her enter with the moving boxes, so how could she have done it so quickly?
However, despite the steaming white tea in front of her, Maria could not bring herself to drink it.
The reason was simple. Looking at the current atmosphere, no matter how great a person might be, they could not leisurely sip tea.
There was no problem with her bravely appearing before Veris and his group. She had only intended to scold their behavior with confidence, so why had she ended up looking like a sinner...?
"Is that so?"
At Cecilia's cold tone, reminiscent of the Saintess of Mercy, Maria swallowed hard.
"Yes."
"Very well. I suppose I cannot stop you from coming to express your gratitude for the incident."
Cecilia was known for her kindness. Although it was Maria's first time speaking with her, she was surprised to discover that she could also wield such a chilling tone.
What about the elf sitting next to Cecilia?
Wasn't she perfectly living up to her reputation of being skilled at hiding her emotions, making it impossible to read what she was thinking?
