Who Spent the Night with the Tower Master (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 102

Inelange struggled to hide her nervousness, straightening her posture as much as possible and holding her back rigidly upright.

Everything was unfolding exactly as Riley had predicted—precisely, without even a hair’s breadth of error, and quite rapidly at that. Josefine found the situation rather astonishing.

Of course, from Riley’s perspective, all of this might indeed be “predictable,” but it was unexpected that the Imperial Princess would move so swiftly according to her expectations.
