"Fate?" Fudge asked as he tilted his head. "Is that a new nickname for me?"
Lylia picked up the violet slime and took him into her arms. "No, you silly puppy. The partnership of that girl and Michael is ordained by nothing less than the universe itself!"
"What do you mean?"
Lylia looked at Yuna on the side of the street. She didn't recognize the little girl at first because she had grown up so fast in just a few years. However, Lylia did recognize the female ogre that greeted Yuna with respect.
She wouldn't forget that face. That ogre had a permanent frown, red eyes, and a single horn on her forehead. She was none other than Agnes, the famous battle maid of the Montgomery family. And if she was escorting that little girl, then Yuna must be none other than the youngest daughter of the Montgomery family!
"You didn't tell me her last name was Montgomery," Lylia said as she squeezed Fudge aggressively.
