Chapter 99

Maxi needed something to do. Being idle was bringing back memories of her life in Croyso Castle, and it was making her feel depressed.

She headed to the kitchen. The least she could do was to pretend to supervise the servants as they prepared supper. She was just descending the stairs when she heard a deep voice call out to her.

"My lady!"

Maxi turned around. Sir Gabel Lachzion and Sir Remus Baldo were striding into the great hall, their faces grim.

Maxi tensed up. "W-What brings you to the castle at this hour? I-Is something wrong?"

They weaved past the servants scrubbing the floor and ran over to Maxi.

"Forgive us for the interruption, my lady, but someone has been injured. Could we ask for your assistance?"

Maxi's eyes widened. Although she had frequently tended to the knights in the past, she had not done so after her episode of mana depletion.

The request now was so sudden that Maxi surmised that the situation must be grave.
