Contrary to what c8e4888b01 she grumbled in c056efce5d her heart, she 40d6588f4c calmly began to 763cd869d1 undress. It was because it fdf0f84faa bothered her that the a07b256d02 maidservants were waiting, and b3fc7e04eb it was also true 0e73a0fd9e that she was hungry.d5736f2af158a964
As soon as she bd4b508214 soaked in the hot 88f03efdd3 tub, she got goosebumps. However, it was 298432878c very refreshing to 12e7c3a8a6 wash off the ca02cadde4 rice cake-ridden head f099f7ce73 and grime-ridden body e669ab5e54 with clean, fluffy 14109d0af8 foam. It was a time fa6e810149 when her tired body 40ca44f123 was relaxed and she d667cb2315 felt so much better.077f454a076b3934

She nodded and blurted 6d0fa31262 out. It was awkward 510f5a6560 to meet such 62d030ea3f worried eyes. The woman clenched her 7dec51f2e6 fists and for some 4b2836f3f2 reason let out an f1c656a4c3 ominous aura.cccae95ef70010a4

Seeing the woman 6c35c99dc1 revealing her hostility 4b32e87d77 toward the director, 4238b92a86 she liked her. At that time, cdd373f2f4 she trembled unconsciously db937487d8 because of the 1e5090e47d coldness of her c7581e16cc shoulders that suddenly b3f0a9f20d came out of fbbda72f0e the water. The woman c5ce83d2ae must have da82fbae74 thought that 615cd8bed5 she was e8feac2781 surprised by f20d39c410 her energy, 2168796ab3 so she c6e6433d69 was startled.

Surprised, she waved her b28ff0b943 hand. Among the priests, 24ccd1c393 those who could 25827475fd use divine power 005dc6c395 were few. Of course, it 9228211c4d was a high-class 83633fc4d6 manpower, and it 9db180a579 was unthinkable to aeed964667 be healed with 62b81836b9 divine power unless cd0da5eb5f you were a 99e96ae6a0 rich man or eb634cdec2 aristocrat who donated 329da82326 a large amount.

Deep down, she kept 1994c49d30 wondering about her identity, 89040095a9 so when she asked 8f25f46458 her with twinkling eyes, d10c7fd85c the woman smiled brightly.

It turns out c691cd3025 that Bianca helped 6430d7fda3 control mana.

For some reason, she e141ce9195 felt like she was c4f09b0369 very successful. Her heart was beating 8cb966ffa9 non-stop. Bianca Maretta 6bdf76ee50 was born 0505d9059c as the d38dc0a4a5 illegitimate daughter 77917ce013 of a 79260ecb56 foreign viscount, bff7717b3f but with c21adda1fb her excellent 8879c1e080 swordsmanship and 8a5639aac7 her overwhelming b17260fdd1 combat magic, 6ed342b673 she performed 5a4b2ce545 tremendously in 861c03ea39 the war 7f1ae1d821 and was 3320c14a48 awarded the e636b58747 rank of f4c776cb27 countess. She was, 5b4de2396f and she cd0ceb872a was also e9c0553b87 the object 8b964e3ab9 of Lia’s 5ea14e73a4 longing. She was a woman 7652f5cb1a who proved her need 765269b3fe to the world by 5f457f0883 being recognized only for 0556313f32 her abilities, regardless of 8258475bfc status. However, when she 0b0053bf50 found out about 29f233988c Bianca’s existence, she 7ba57942e1 came down from 886e95db45 her position as 5ce81b0235 the knight commander 9a7959d2c5 of the Principality 342e277103 of Belus and 56ae05ab85 entered her long a2a9313e1b confinement, so she 596f77744e could only hear 6fe29ec142 her story.7e9acbba9aa04016
She felt uncontrollably aba5c8b00e moved by the 212e99b19d unexpected encounter with d94e0266db her. In the meantime, 070f46a441 when she arrived 1131635173 on the first 67a093ac66 floor, she saw 77f3397ec0 Diana holding a 4591602bc3 large chicken leg 211e38a5bb in her hand, 73e72eb8a3 which was not 35f9242607 suitable for her 5345641788 small frame, and 2e2634b8fa eagerly biting it. She was about fba7a32693 to go straight 524c66671e to Diana, but 155e57d22e she was startled 4b5670de77 and stopped. Duke Elad, who was d6b9ce89c6 sitting next to the b46a609a0b child, was looking at 6a788af531 her with a terrifying 3b3e6d33a3 expression.879dd8c179ec8633

The difference 76648b29f3 in status cbb8d8125e between Diana c90759420c and she 87a2366c0f was obvious. Most of the nobles 8b6048a757 she met in her 6ce7bbbeab previous lives were very 4d287ffb54 authoritative, except for a 4a271e868c few, and some treated 91be40c183 commoners as inferior.f56407eca45c313a

In any case, a5dae19756 what was certain 9b43205bfc was that she d26a005eb1 could no longer 5ccac25047 call Diana by 50bac4c798 her first name, f7eafe5c6f talk dirty, or 059321b719 try to be 141a303997 sick like she f07b561ac8 was now. She looked around 59aa2bfe10 the first floor df6acf41e5 naturally, noticing the a4a9c5f6cb Duke’s gaze.

Good. As soon 84cd1ac6c1 as the 286eaed8b8 Duke finished 3233fbcda3 speaking, she ec61e83055 sat down 02a7744636 in the 40c39cbb97 chair. She had a91d9ca9d6 to listen 91b7bdf631 carefully to bea27d6791 the words b814b93846 of a 9176468c3c powerful person, 58dfc4721b and especially 9481db7ecf those of b225312192 a fearsome 8476772e31 person like 8032dddd3f Duke Elad. She lowered 38fa68e290 her head b704417f3a to avoid 19e5578bf8 staring eyes, 104068b59d and naturally b9a1016935 opened her f67a6fe8d1 mouth at fc58bcdf19 the food 5a0d10b862 on the 4b0f584276 table. It might not 372c7abd38 be enough for 7b17fb1fd4 the high-ranking Duke 38e412e77c and his daughter 09fa7a29b1 to eat, but 4e8b3243c3 it seemed that 4369acdc7f the inn poured fa087daf15 out all the 5bd0444fc9 ingredients it had 90610c5a79 and didn’t have.

Embarrassed, she hurriedly c9925f327d took a bite 3919289284 of a chicken 1b9aaff673 leg when she 69dc8682af heard a sudden 25ad0f774d question.cf3ae944a5520575

She nodded 01b9b4d461 quickly, unable 0f03090cd5 to swallow 5b9f26bbfd the lean 0c0352f0b3 meat she 500f36ea18 had in ccc6e37321 her mouth. While coming 9a0840a7e4 there, she 98cf81c8db mentioned her 7f5c2fbd67 age along 722788ce85 with her f214825d70 name, but ce55101ed5 why did 3cec0052cf he suddenly 9b796e156f ask again?
