Chapter 153: Emily [2]

"Knock, knock."

I firmly knocked twice on the door as Emily and Aeloria moved back, leaving me alone.

"Come in."

A soft voice came from inside the room as I opened the door and walked in.

My eyes immediately fell on the woman sitting on the bed with both her hands resting on her lap.

She looked like a mature version of Emily, with her beautiful gray eyes fixed on me.

But unlike Emily, who still knew how to laugh, she had a stoic expression on her face that felt close to emotionless, but she quickly hid her expression as she smiled softly.

"Who are you?" She asked, waking me up from my daze.

"Eden," I replied with a light bow, "Eden Morton."

"You don't need to be polite; I am a commoner. Nobles like you don't need to bow in front of me," she quickly said as I also looked back at her.

"May I?" I asked, gesturing towards the chair.

"Yes," she replied, nodding. I sat down on the chair facing her.
