The red tea in the cup had lost its warazed through theAlthough it was past noon, it was already dusk Even the other mercenaries were still not used to this odd time difference However, they were fortunate that Rhode had thought of this when he was building the Fortress He built a clock tower for tiht With this clock tower, everyone was able to adjust to the drastic ti at the scenery, Marlene rubbed her forehead gently The operations of the Fortress had normalized and the only problem she had hen Marfa delivered the piece of paper infor her that Anne had escaped However, Marlene wasn’t too surprised as she knew Anne’s character inside out Marlenethat Marfa was honest and reliable, so she didn’t worry too much about it

However, this didn’t h the operations were going well for the Fortress and there weren’t any problems in the entire Paphield which required their assistance, Marlene was troubled over her personal issues, which were related to Canary

Before Rhode left the Fortress, he wanted Canary and Marlene to ether If it was in the past, Marlene would have been delighted After all, she worked with Canary well and both of theeable and experienced in casting techniques, so she could even be considered Marlene’sinto the ‘act’ of Canary and Rhode that fine day, Marlene felt eh she didn’t consider herself Rhode’s girlfriend, the thought of herthe same relationshi+p with another woman made her feel aard She didn’t kno to face Canary and she thought that Rhode would clarify the situation to Canary or her But, it see so As for Canary, Marlene sensed that shewas off too However, Canary’s attitude towards Marlene remained the sa human, she is someorried about this?
