Chapter 171 - Momentary peace (part 1)

His complexion was sickly pale and judging by the worried look of the other two, his condition couldn't be any good.

"Hmm...? I am pretty sure I asked you to take me back to the Banemor mansion – grandpa is probably very worried... Unless he is still in the Academy?"

Zoemi looked around and said in a hesitant voice, furrowing his brows.

"But you also said that you are really worried about Miss Miriette and the others..."

"We are just passing through here, so you wouldn't worry."

"You need to have a proper rest."

The two continued their explanation, making some fairly reasonable points.
