Chapter 225 - White Raven Shop (2/2)

"I didn't ask because of your schedule I ondering to ask how Marla reacted when she found out that you had been accepted as ot evennow But he answered everything truthfully anyway:

"Well, she see after that For so for Malva Hibiscus You know each other personally?"

Levine s and placed it on her desk Then she poured a tea for herself while replying:

"I can ier mixed with the shock as well I don't know her as much as her sister

Marie was or is Marla's elder sister She served as my apprentice for a while

Marie wanted to beco her talent It was better than the average But it was not enough to make me take her as my disciple

I had heard Marie had defected and became a cultist later down the line But I had lost contact with her long before that

So listening to you being taken asto hear for Marla I have met with her She doesn't say it out loud But she must think that Marie's defection could have been avoided had I taken her as my disciple"

Only now did the realization dawn on Eren He re with Renar after he was done torturing him And he also remembered how Marla had addressed Levine as an old vixen when he had first mentioned the Master potioneer's nahts was broken by Marla's next words:

"You see against Marie or Marla Those two sisters were always close to each other So I can understand my rejection would have put Marla in a foul mood as well

I remember that lass Marla had an unhealthy obsession for elven ales And it only worsened when she learned about her sister Does she still get hammered on those ales?"

Eren could only suess As it appeared, Marla had the sa her sorrows in her drinks Marla of now and Eren of the past both were trying to find a cure in booze when it didn't solve anything in reality

But that realization has never been enough to stop the heavy drinkers anyway
