Chapter 158

Roxanne kept silent after she greeted them. Since Alfred didn’t give her a chance to leave, she had no choice but to stay and listen to their conversation.

Sonya retracted her gaze from Roxanne and looked at Alfred carnestly. “What a blessing it is for the Queen family now that you’re fine!”
