Nivalis tugged at Rita's ear. "Hey, hey, what's with that look? When you argued with Scarlett, I unconditionally sided with you! If I ever argue with Beisui or Holy Grail, you'd better back me too!"
That was a lot of pressure. Scarlett and two adult dragons weren't even on the same level!
Rita took a deep breath. "I'll make sure none of you ever argue." Internally, she resolved to read more parenting books when she got back. After a pause, she solemnly promised, "I'll always take your side."
Nivalis finally broke into a grin, rubbing Rita's ear affectionately. "That's more like it!"
Rita didn't rush into the city. She observed the gates from a distance, noticing that security checks had grown significantly stricter. Even animals were no longer allowed entry.
When she saw a dignified-looking bull-headed humanoid with a 9 Charm score being detained on the spot, she didn't hesitate to drink the [Gold-Class Assassin] potion from Lucia.
