Raising the Northern Grand Duchy as a Max-Level All-Master

At the time, I wasn’t told exactly how severe Arina’s condition was, nor the specifics of what happened.

All I knew was what Isabelle and Sun had conveyed—that it had been serious.

“Did she throw a fit about wanting to come to Count Jin’s territory?”

Instead of returning to the High Tower after nearly being kidnapped, I had started a business on the outskirts of Renslet. It must have made Arina deeply uneasy.

Honestly, it made me wonder who should be worrying about whom.

“In the end, she used my birthday as an excuse to come here in disguise.”

It seemed no one could break Arina’s stubbornness.
