Josephine Rint was an old 8c9b818be9 follower of Seira.54d2156c5363df5c
She always followed 70bf55c527 Seira around like 6e58d36eb2 a shadow, so a16a448304 there was a 8e10eaacde chance Seira might 224d2cc68a also be here cbb57a6573 now.e2feff3171d48506

‘…Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like that’s the case.’06e251775627be9f
Come to think d6d8bf5971 of it, she 5717b2c33b recalled hearing a a987df1cb6 rumor that Josephine 4532302746 and Seira had d6ff7aa12d a falling out 5bf4178704 after the victory e7c60becdd banquet.c3369d5f5dd2fb19

Unlike in the b5c6071295 past, when she b90873baa9 always mocked her, 1a1b602320 Josephine’s expression today ed3bb3cba6 was full of d2e0918649 goodwill.d1761cc7c0701fdf
To think she could 6e199746c6 even make such a 668eb4da59 gentle face. It felt strangely unnatural.9a7c7ed3c6ea2b6a

“Did you come to see the play today as well, Lady? I’m glad I get ab9831ecf1 to greet you. Actually, I saw you 10a127829a earlier too, but you 4923b23b62 looked busy, so I 216ce3d50d couldn’t approach you.”1135aa2e3f724751

She had clung to Seira d9dd43adbf and tormented her—yet now, approaching 7e65457b6b with such feigned friendliness, Josephine’s 6abcdf70f3 face didn’t show even a 5ec6a248d7 trace of guilt or remorse. Rather, she seemed 3b1d95994d to be looking e97fc09439 down on her.b4f37ec4e49d477a
In the past, 785e1fbcdf she might have e12910f711 just smiled like c4e028d4b0 a fool even 646024a0e5 in such a 4139f77732 situation, but today, c8738d9b06 she didn’t want f48f067456 to.d92bfd74347963d0

“Wait a moment, Lady Locke. You seem gloomier than usual—did cba7ca17c0 something happen?”04cd35b79974c04c

Something did happen. She was worried about Vanessa. But this expression wasn’t 173c93124b because of that—it was 872b7c752e simply because she didn’t 5e02f94f50 want to talk to af38065327 Josephine.c206a98a30741d56

Lilliana immediately defended 3bc3055c21 her, but Josephine 8e8154a379 didn’t even seem f7f3fa33b1 interested in hearing f0ff4969fd her answer.5d1570aff0746a61
Her behavior had a 141925b553 clear purpose from the a537fb5b69 start. Josephine was skilled bf18e2eb7e at mocking others 6e750ccdce to build rapport.0a04c4eb08f72db4
