“Y-Yes… such neould be nice”

Max did not allow herself to think positive, as she was afraid of being disappointed if she set her expectations too high Although, in reality, she was also secretly thrilled to finally hear that the war had ended Currently, the Allied forces were fighting to drive the monsters away fro to retake the stronghold of Ethylene Castle in the northeastern region They all claimed that if the battle there on, the ould end

Max looked around the place for aa sense of pride, then went to the kitchen to wash her hands in the sink She went out, fixing her hair and clothes, and saw the carriage and the guards already waiting for her After proot into the carriage

Idcilla spoke in her characteristic poignant tone and Max replied with a frown

“You must not say that in front of the priests” Alyssa warned her with a serious expression “Although the priests in Levan are Protestants and tolerate the existence of anism If you openly advocate polytheists, you will be rejected”

Max recoiled at the prospect “I’ll be…c-careful”
