Chapter 49: Devotion

I rode in the carriage and left them behind. It took me a few minutes before reaching the Marionette faction mansion a few blocks away from the colosseum where the recent challenges were taking place.

Chapter 48: Problems

We did a little walk along the cemented road through the miniature forest and decided to go back after a few minutes.
