Chapter 73.3
“Did you happen to meet Poplatica or Carrot?”
“Hmm? Oh no, not at all. But that’s obvious.”
Judith breathed a sigh of relief at the “obvious” response and looked around. Thunder Sonia also displayed the typical elven reactions as if to say, “See, I told you.” Nazar could only offer a wry smile.
“By the way, do you plan to meet with Poplatica and the others?”
“No, not at all. But I’d like to.”
“Oh really? Why?”
“It’s obvious. They are beautiful women. I would like to marry one of them if possible.”
