Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End Chapter 526: Parting Ways

Worshiping one’s ancestors was a solemn affair, though Roel thought that it was a chore.

In the divine hall of Rosa’s Sia Temple, Roel quietly watched the cremation of his ancestors’ remains. Standing slightly behind him were Alicia and Charlotte holding identical black stone urns between their hands.
