816 Strong Bonds That Would Endure The Test Of Time

"Sir Lux, I've heard from Lady Faustina that you are relocating your Guild Headquarters to the Crystal Palace. Is that true?" Valerie asked the Half-Elf, who was standing beside her.

"Yes," Lux replied. "Are you perhaps one of Lady Faustina's servants?"

"E-Eh? Ah! Yes! I am one of them!" Valerie stuttered. "She asked me to accompany her to the Crystal Palace."

"I see." Lux nodded. "Actually, I'm happy to see you again. I planned to properly bid you farewell, but when I returned to the Outer Reaches, you were no longer there."

Valerie lowered her head, hiding her face, as she tried to calm her heart that was wildly beating inside her chest.

When she heard Lux say that he was happy to see her again, she felt incredibly happy as well. However, when he got to the part about him bidding her farewell, she felt a stinging pain in her heart, which she didn't like.

Although she had only known Lux for a short period of time, she wanted to know more about him.
