FAYES' POV
Watching Catherine's back disappear outside the city gate, an unprecedented sense of relief surged in my heart.
This feeling was really awesome!
Just like every year in the past, I won the championship from the women's group in our annual hunting competition The New Arctic Pack.
No, even more enjoyable!
I turned around to say thank you, and the first thing I saw was Claus.
He actually kept looking at me!
When our eyes met, the gratitude that was about to burst out of my throat suddenly choked up. My mind went blank for a moment. I didn't even know what to say to him.
“I'm honored to have a beautiful appearance that can make my saintess stare blankly at me.”
Claus' slightly teasing words instantly brought me back to my senses. I quickly lowered my head, trying to prevent the blush from appearing on my face.
I forced myself to express my gratitude.
