So, I suppose Kari is the one who planted that seed into Mary's mind about going to be an adventurer. 🤣
Actually, the name (of the obscured name-drop) rang, but I wasn't able to put it to the right place. So thanks for the link of the corresponding chapter. 🥰

As for the story in this part, I enjoyed it a lot. It was interesting to see how things turned out and to learn a bit more about Mary's background story. I'm just wondering if Gillean had anything to do with what happened in the library... 😉

Have a lovely day and take care!
