Chapter 78: The Pontiff

Surprised, Alexis straightened her spine in respect for the girl. "Pontiff Rebeca!? What are you doing here!?" 

This Rebeca had short, snowy hair, and also had eyes as blue as sapphire. Although she had the appearance of a little girl of ten or eleven, her look was reminiscent of someone experienced. Well, at least that's what Luke thought at the first moment...

"AAAAAAHH! I can't believe you ignored me for two years!" Rebecca exclaimed, crossed her arms, turned her face, and inflated her cheeks. 

A small bead of sweat dripped down the left side of Alexis' face as she scratched her nose slightly, showing nervousness. 

"I didn't ignore you on purpose..." The half-dragon said, looking away. To Luke, that was a clear sign of a lie.

But Rebecca seemed to believe it because in the next instant her eyes were shining because of the huge number of tears that had clustered in her eye sockets.
