Chapter 77 The Devil\'s Inescapable Shadow - II
The corner of Seraphina\'s mouth twitched slightly: "Maybe I\'m pretending, maybe I\'m a little unhappy?" Rhiannon was stunned, then she burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Seri, you\'ve learned to joke in just a few days! The Seri I know can\'t hide her feelings at all! And—" She turned her head to look at the village, and said with that incredibly envious tone: "And, what\'s there to be unhappy about working for Lord Hydral? Look, the village has become so big, so beautiful, everyone eats their fill every day, no one is hungry anymore!" Rhiannon hugged Seraphina tightly: "This is all thanks to you, Seri!" "Working for Lord Hydral, what\'s there to be unhappy about?" "..." What\'s there... to be unhappy about? Just being treated like a clown and a puppet, what\'s there to be unhappy about? Aren\'t you, Seraphina. The grown wolf looked at the village that had raised her, and then at her familiar yet strange friend. She laughed softly, her eyes downcast as she hugged her friend. "Yes, you\'re right, Rhiannon." "What do I have to be unhappy about?"

Returning in glory to her hometown, Seraphina was unfamiliar with this concept. Yet, at that moment, when Ansel first suggested she return home, her heart was indeed filled with hope and longing. She anticipated that her village would improve because of her, and her family would find happiness because of her. She looked forward to the surprised, admiring, and seemingly saying "Seraphina is truly remarkable" looks from her relatives and elders. And now, when Seraphina stepped into the village, she indeed felt such gazes. Not just gazes, but also cheers. Such boisterous warm cheers, even in the severe winter after the big cold wave, still made people feel doubly warm. Everything was as Seraphina had hoped. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Why did I come back? Well... I wanted to come back, and Hydral didn\'t control me strictly."
"Look messy... What do you mean messy! Wasn\'t I wearing this when I left!"
"Just me? Marlina is working for Hydral... Huh? Why didn\'t I take a carriage back... Can\'t I exercise! I can knock you down with one punch, Kavan!"
Seraphina cheerfully greeted the villagers, her enthusiastic appearance, no different from the Seraphina in their eyes.
"Lord Hydral can actually tolerate your character, Seraphina." A young man teased, "Are you really just working for him?"
Seraphina glared at him, and the young man immediately shrank his neck reflexively, seemed like he had been beaten by Seraphina since he was a child.
Surrounded by the crowd, Seraphina walked to the center of the village. In fact, she could no longer recognize the roads in the village. Whose house each building was, she could only recognize it based on the location in her memory. Seraphina even saw a statue of Hydral standing in the middle of the village, the place left for the children to play.
The statue was smooth and delicate, and it was obvious that someone was taking care of it every day.
The wolf that escaped from the devil who played with her life and emotions, ironically, stood by his side again.
Moreover, she cheered with joy and excitement:
"Everyone! I, Seraphina, am back!"
