Chapter 89: Fate

Still wearing a dazed expression, Meredia slowly opened her eyes, rubbing them as if deep in thought.
Did I... doze off?
Retracing her last memories before falling asleep, she sat up with a small smile.

Apparently, she’d fallen asleep while staring out the window to avoid Whitney’s intense gaze on the carriage ride back from Lumen Ordo.
That alone—something that would’ve been unthinkable for her just months ago—made her let out a quiet laugh as she rubbed her temples.

If the version of her from a few months ago saw the current her blushing in the garden and confessing to Whitney, she’d probably scream insane and chug poison on the spot.
“Milady... what shall we do now...?”
“...!?”
