Chapter 145

Matias spent a long time wandering around the temple, but he couldn't locate Sez, no matter how patiently he waited. Had he chosen the wrong time? Or had they missed each other? He searched around the temple a few times in the hope of spotting her, but the result remained unchanged.
“…”
A shadow cast itself over Matias' face. Setting aside the fact that Sez had promised to help him, he felt frustrated at not having seen her for such a long time.
‘What if she's so unwell that she can't even leave her palace?’
Matias let out a deep sigh and began walking towards Sez’s quarters. Before long, he crossed paths with someone he recognized.
“Wait, you-”
Kaen stopped and turned her gaze towards Matias, walking with her hands filled with various items.
“H-hello, Lord Karim.”
Kaen bowed politely, but Matias was fixated on the things she was holding.
“Are those the books Her Royal Highness was reading?”
“Yes, you're right. I didn't finish moving them…”
