Love and Killing, a New Breakthrough!

Back in the Great Hall, Andy's steps faltered slightly.

Compared to the usual lively, noisy Great Hall, it felt somewhat grim at the moment. Everyone was whispering in low voices, and the air was thick with the scent of gunpowder.

"It's best if they haven't."

Andy explained, "I'm
