Chapter 90 - 89 - Next Time

Coming over to Alaia's castle for the third time no longer became hard or even took longer, like her second visit. On the third visit, Alaia only had to wait for two weeks to see Maria again. And so it did on her fourth time, the fifth time, and so on. Ever since that day- ever since Maria's second visit to Alaia's castle, visiting them had become a regular thing for her. Before, she was worried because she didn't have a good enough reason to come, but right now, she no longer cares about that. Even if she didn't have a reason, even if she just wanted to see them, she never hesitated again about going there. Her father had never stopped her. He was now supporting Maria in whatever she wanted to do. That is why she grew closer and closer to everyone who was living there, especially to the dryad twins and the pixies. And of course, to Alaia. She was still being self-conscious around the beast, but it was not as bad as before.
