Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End Chapter 311: Remember To Take Your Medicine First

A solemn atmosphere was still looming in this huge hall a moment ago after Astrid shared the tragic history of the Ardes, and Roel found his heart growing heavy. Yet, such an atmosphere was immediately shattered the moment Astrid pointed her finger at Lilian’s room.
