They all thought Madam Herta was peerlessly formidable, and that even in love, she should have been the first to take the lead, leaving Asta, the Station Master, behind.
Who would have thought that the reality was the complete opposite? Madam Herta was even quite yielding, letting Robin and Jingliu get ahead of her.
Uh, Hua Yi's body should be fine, right?
She had no idea whether Robin had used [Harmony's Vowel] to boost her combat power during her turn. Jingliu was a top-tier powerhouse second only to an Emissary, and she was not to be underestimated either.
And today, Madam Herta herself was an Emissary of The Erudition...
Since it concerned her own husband, Asta puffed up her courage.
"Madam Herta, can I bring over a lounge chair? If Hua Yi gets tired, he can rest for a while."
"You think so little of him? Or is it that, normally, he's very gentle with you? I never saw you worrying about your superior being bullied by Hua Yi. Is this what some people mean when they say that once a girl falls in love, she starts taking the outsider's side?"
Great Herta's few words made Asta blush.
"Then... then I'll have to trouble Madam Herta to take care of Hua Yi. Please, please!"
The Station Master was filled with gratitude toward this genius, much like a younger sister facing her older sister—or even an elder of a higher generation.
Back then, it was Herta who had brought Asta out of her home, ignoring all the schemes, intrigues, and calculations of those relatives. She was the one who had sheltered her.
And now her own husband was going to be with Madam Herta...
Eugh, it felt so strange.
Should I call Madam Herta sister or younger sister from now on?
