THAT THING CALLED MANA

"I'M SORRY, Lady Eclaire!"

Huh?

Eclaire was shocked when one of the Wolves from Rosette Ashford's tribe suddenly apologized to her with a deep bow.

[What's with the explosive reaction?]

Eclaire picked up the handkerchief that the female Wolf dropped. Then the female Wolf accidentally grazed her hand when she handed it to her.

That was when the female Wolf suddenly bowed deeply to her while apologizing.

"I'm alright," Eclaire assured the female Wolf. "I'm not hurt." She even showed the Wolf her hand. "See? My hand is fine."

The Wolf looked genuinely relieved. "That's a relief, Lady Eclaire."

She just smiled, then she heard a snicker behind her.

[That punk…]

When the female Wolf took her leave, Eclaire turned around to face Nathaniel who was still laughing.

[Aigoo… someone is amused, huh?]

While the other Fangs were preparing to leave for the monster forest, Eclaire and Nathaniel were waiting in the tower.
