Chapter 212: Hope and Love Make People Strong

After Isabel provided her definitive opinion, the previously insistent Great Justice unexpectedly chose to comply.

Everyone agreed, and the matter was thus settled.

Subsequent challenges with public opinion and various emergency plans were handed over to Great Justice Arios. He was to return and discuss with Mycroft, proposing several solutions.

But after the Great Guardian and the Great Justice left, Ligeia did not choose to follow them.

She just looked at Isabel with relief—although Ligeia's appearance as a little girl made this sight somewhat awkward, it was unexpectedly harmonious.

She smiled, drew close, jumped into Isabel's arms, and gently touched Isabel's head.

"You've grown up, Little Isabel."

Ligeia, like a little adult, gently stroked Isabel's soft, light golden hair and gently touched her forehead to Isabel's: "Now you finally look a bit like a Monarch."

Isabel slightly bowed her head and hugged Ligeia back around the waist.
