Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter: Volume 16 by Riku Nanano

The church has taken the Lalannoyan capital. With the menace of the ice wyrm looming over their heads, Allen and his companions join the desperate fight to retake the city before the monster fully revives. Cut off from their homeland, they will need to tax their brilliant minds to the limit if they hope to stand a chance against the forces arrayed against them. But more secrets lurk in the shadows of the republic, while the Dark Lord’s intentions remain cloaked in mystery, and the dueling machinations of the false Saint and her prime apostle threaten to upend all predictions. When all is said and done, can Allen bring himself to finally settle things with his undead erstwhile friend Zel?
