"Queen Aixi, long time no see," Levi greeted.
"It has been a long time. You've even started to look a bit world-weary," Aixi said with a smile.
Levi rubbed the stubble that had sprouted on his chin, not minding it at all.
During a military campaign, even a Lord couldn't be expected to shave every day and keep his appearance perfectly impeccable.
He hadn't shaved in half a month.
"Levi, you must be exhausted from your journey." Baisitina stood on her tiptoes, her heart aching for him as she brushed the snowflakes from the Lord's hair.
Before they met, she had a thousand things to say, but now that they were face to face, it all coalesced into a simple greeting.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Levi chuckled, then held out a hand to measure her height. "Tina, you've gotten taller again!" he exclaimed in surprise.
When he left, the young girl was just a little over 1.5 ren, but now she was at least 1.6, nearly 1.7 ren tall.
