If You Want To Possess Me (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 74

“…Ah, I see.”

Kisa’s deeply subdued voice caused the smile on Seyard’s face to shift into one of awkwardness.

“I’m sorry. I have quite a few matters to attend to, and I think it’s about time I head down to my domain. It seems I won’t be able to make it during the monastery’s open week.”
