Chapter 118: VOL 2 Chapter 63: We can start a new life.
Seeing her sister's state of panic, Clara sighed and extended one of her hands to gently caress her cheek. Then, with a warm smile, she commented, trying to calm her down, since, even if he truly had been an 'heir', there was nothing more to be done.
