I'm already loving this, can't wait to see Khemia!
I like how this side story has so many recalls to Adastra, and that the new MC is not so snobbish as I initially thought (it was a thought only based on the appearance, actually). I'm always happy to see known faces from the previous chapter (especially Neferu, who hasn't lost his charm) and I'm intrigued at the thought of who the next ally/enemy or whatever will be.
I'm looking forward for the next update :)
P.S: I'll keep some tissues with me just as precaution, while I'm on this journey with Scipio... xD
