Marlene was distracted for a ained her senses

“I think that Mr Rhode shouldn’t be a member of the Reformist Party As per ’s party and didn’t have a good relationshi+p with the Reformist Party Just as I have reported previously… Mr Rhode seems to have some conflicts with the Reformist Party Besides, I feel that he didn’t have too hness Lydia”

“This sounds like a good news for us… But…”

The six beings responded and discussed while Marlene stared at her staff with complicated emotions On one hand, Marlene felt happy, but on the other hand, she orried and afraid Although she knew by doing this, it wouldn’t bring any haruilty for unknown reasons She felt that to discuss about Rhode’s matters behind his back was an act of betrayal which made her felt terrible

Terrible?

Marlene was taken aback

Why do I need to feel terrible? This should be my mission in the first place, besides… This isn’t bad for Mr, Rhode, right? Although by doing this, IMr Rhode, but I, after all, am the heir of Senia Family and held the responsibility of a ‘Selector’ This is ht?</eht of Rhode’s expressionless face, she felt that she had done so Could it be that she orried about Rhode finding out?

Marlene had s and was speechless

If this continued… Maybe one of these days, the Senia Family would need to interact with Mr Rhode When that happened, hoould Rhode think of her when he realised that she had been doing such things all along After spending so much time with Rhode, she knew that he wasn’t interested in benefiting the majority of the people He was cals his way Of course Marlene faintly noticed that sos wasn’t too siined However, as a person from a noble family, she knew that, in this world, if one didn’t work one’s way through, one would be dead That henever she noticed Rhode doing so as it was unrelated to her

“This responsibility shouldn’t be beared by you,hair while his eyes were filled with solidarity

“Initially, I didn’t think that you would be the one in the prophecy… As a h it wouldn’t be nice for the fahter and the heir of Senia Family and didn’t need to carry such heavy responsibilities and this mission But now…”

“I don’t think that this is anything bad, Dad”

Marlene shook her head as she looked at her father with a gentle smile

“I admit that when I left Golden City for Paphield to follow the prophecy, I was indeed worried and uncertain because I wasn’t sure who the person in the prophecy would be like I was eventhat period of tiinative drea wasn’t real… But now, I feel that I am fortunate At least… Fro I’lad to have chosen to be determined and not escape”
