Chapter 473. In the Queen's Embrace

"Finally! You have no idea how desperately I've been waiting for you," Garnet, who was holding the Archane Line Myne had called her on a moment ago, spoke with a sigh of relief when she saw him emerge from the portal. He had feared that someone else might be with her, jeopardizing their burgeoning secret relationship before it could even start officially.

"It couldn't be worse than me. I haven't slept soundly in two nights, worrying constantly about you. I feared that ungrateful scoundrel might have harmed you while I wasn't there to protect you," Myne pretended not to know that something unpleasant had happened to Faren, which sent him to bed rest for a few weeks and spoke with a smile, his face contorted with a convincing display of concern, striking a critical hit on Garnet's heart. Her eyes turned to hearts as she threw herself into his embrace.
