Chapter 81: The Little Maid's Big Crisis

Clara lifted her head and looked at the man who walked in.

Contrary to the little maid's imagination, the newcomer's attire was simple, typical of the traveler's clothing one could find anywhere on the Bratis Continent.

He had an average build, a triangular face, and a low nose bridge, but what caught the eye most were his eyes, which differed from those of ordinary people; his pupils were rectangular.

When that pair of pupils set upon her, the little maid instinctively felt uncomfortable. Besides that, when the man took off his hood, Clara also noticed a pair of black horns on his head.

Those black horns seemed to have been filed down for some reason, with only a small part remaining at the base.

"Clara," the visitor began speaking again after Ruby had left, "or would you prefer I call you by your church name, Mary? You should already know who I am."

"..."

The little maid remained silent upon hearing this.
