A man was standing in front of Maria who held her broken right hand with her left hand.
He looked to be in his 30s and he wore a long red and black robe with blue streaks. His hair was white with some black strands in between.
The man glanced at Ade and then nodded at him slightly. Quickly after that, he redirected his focus on the enemy right in front of him.
"Long time no see! Forharta."
With a wide grin spreading throughout her face, Maria greeted the Count.
In response, Count Forharta said with a tinge of sarcasm:
"You as well. So, how was your little seclusion? Little... Zhong."
Zhong Star's face darkened with a visible anger.
"I see... You haven't changed at all since our last meeting. You are still as arrogant as before."
Count Forharta laughed and replied to his comment: "You have not changed as well. Little... Zhong."
