After resting at the castle for two days, Xu Huo made another visit to the welfare center. After donating a batch of supplies, he took the opportunity to check on the two children before heading off to meet Lady Lily as arranged.
It was a charity auction organized by Lady Lily in collaboration with several noblewomen.
Xu Huo received a freshly printed invitation card, adorned with Lady Lily's specially penned text that carried a trace of ambiguity.
The matter of assassinating a member of the Holy Sword Society was already considered settled.
According to the time stated on the invitation, he arrived punctually at Magnolia Castle.
Lady Lily greeted him with a polite hug, her smile coquettish as she remarked, "Ever since your last departure, there's been no news from you, and I've been so worried."
