"Wasn't it mind-draining, Crucifix?" Meliora grumbled as she treaded towards the ballroom again. She didn't get why she was doing this, just for a mere concubine selection.
[And I wonder why you are not affected by the fact that none of the members of the royal family in Clariant decided to check up on you.]
"What are they checking up on me for, if not to confirm the status of Meliora being dead? They never cared for me, so I wouldn't care for them," she said with a determined look on her face.
[Then just like the way you are hating these lessons, other noble ladies must be doing the same.]
"No, they are not. I bet they enjoy this lesson as much as the idea of them becoming the Queen," She scoffed, scrunching her brows into a frown.
She thought of her prowess to summon powerful mechanical beings like Crucifix. She wouldn't need anyone's protection once she put the mana inside her to good use.
