Chapter 535
"Isn’t it obvious? Back then, I was broke, but now? Not anymore. I’m pretty well-off these days." Thesaya grinned, peeking out from the side as the divine power around Charlotte also faded away.
"That’s all your family’s money," said Ian.
Thesaya nodded nonchalantly. "My family’s wealth is my wealth. Besides, I get a monthly allowance from the mainland anyway. Though I guess that might not be the case for a while."
"Yeah, right." Ian shook his head, lightly shaking his left arm as if to dust it off.
Meanwhile, Thesaya finally released Charlotte from her hug and stepped back. "I won’t tell you to save it since you barely write more than a few words anyway. But you'd better reply this time. If you make me wait another six months for a letter, I swear—hey, what are you doing?"
Thesaya blinked as Charlotte suddenly grabbed her belt, one hand clutching both the scroll and her tail.
She glanced at Thesaya and answered, "Figured I should give you a farewell gift too."
"Wait, you don’t mean that sword, do you?"
"I do." Charlotte unhooked the jagged blade from her belt.
Thesaya raised an eyebrow. "And what the hell am I supposed to do with that clunky thing? It’s not even yours, it’s One-Arm’s."
"It’s my spoil of war, so it’s mine. Take it. The Great Chieftain’s sword will serve as a fitting symbol that Erenos is an ally of the beastfolk." Charlotte pressed the jagged sword, scabbard and all, into Thesaya’s arms.
A dry laugh escaped Thesaya’s lips. "Right. What did I expect from you? This gift is so very you, Kitty."
