Truth Behind Istana's Madness

Although Astoria was very intrigued and curious to learn how Vaan recovered Aeliana from her Abomination state, she missed her chance to ask.

In fact, there were many things she wanted to ask him; he was a walking library brimming with profound knowledge.

For example, she also wanted to learn how he became a Spirit Contractor.

"Kyuu~!"

Topaz flew back to Vaan and rubbed her cheeks against his, unintentionally passing all the dirt on her face to him.

Shortly after, she settled on his head and demanded praises for her good work.

"She's so adorable. It's the first time I've actually seen an earth spirit. I've only heard about them until now." Astoria glanced at Topaz.

She wanted to poke her soft cheeks.

However, she refrained from doing so when she saw Topaz staring at her vigilantly. Furthermore, her hands were stained with dirt and blood.

After shaking her head, she went straight to the main point of their discussion.
