Chapter 110: The Record of Regressions (2) (Teaser)
Sophien slowly opened her eyes. Her body remained heavy with fatigue, but an unusual sensation clung to her thoughts, as if she had been dreaming of something from the distant past… something that seemed to have lasted for a long time.
“Your Majesty.”
