Chapter 882

At first, Violet tried to keep things relaxed with her apprentices. After all, it was the New Year-what was the point of acting all high and mighty as their mentor?

But when she saw the three couples treating her with such reverence, and when Max's wife, Esther, personally took a cup of coffee from a servant and handed it to her, she realized that the role of a mentor had to be taken seriously. The other two women stood by Violet's side attentively, as if she was their mother-in-law.

At that point, even Violet had no choice but to play her role. Still, she couldn't help but wonder-did it really have to be this way?

Back at the Inferno Guild, she wasn't treated like this. Most of the time, it was her mentor who pampered her. As for serving refreshments, that was usually left to the new apprentices. What business did she, a senior apprentice, have doing that? But when she first joined, no one had treated her that way either.

A sense of guilt stirred within Violet, and she found herself missing her mentor a little.
