"Yvanna?"
"That's right. It's me, but please understand that I can't show my face." Yvanna uttered.
Now that he was here, all the things that she wanted to tell him seemed to have disappeared from her mind.
What's this feeling?
For some reason she couldn't explain, she felt embarrassed to look him in the eye.
"I understand." Alaric chuckled as he nodded.
"What brings you here?" He asked while gesturing for her to follow him.
There were too many people around so it was inappropriate to talk about certain things.
Yvanna obediently followed him as she replied in a cold voice. "I took care of the people who tried to capture me."
Hearing this, Alaric was taken aback. "I see. If you don't want to talk about it, we can talk about something else."
"It's alright. You're already aware of my situation anyway." She shook her head.
"That's true."
Neo observed the male human that her princess was speaking with.
He looks young, but his aura is close to that of an Elite Knight! He is indeed special. His potential is even higher than that man named Lucas.
His misunderstanding toward House Silversword deepened after seeing Alaric. He felt that this noble household was hiding a secret. His suspicions stemmed from the fact that they had two Transcendents and a high number of Elite Knights.
Alaric took Yvanna to a quiet corner away from the group.
It was then that Galanar quietly appeared behind him, cautiously eyeing the robed individuals.
Alaric noticed his vigilance so he made a hand gesture, signaling for him to relax.
While his men were still processing his words, Liam continued.
"If we join the fight for those properties, it is guaranteed that we will have to face them and with our group's current strength, we stand no chance against either of those two."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"However..." Suddenly, a cunning light flashed in Liam's eyes.
The change in his expression made his subordinates excited because this meant that he had thought of a plan!
"There is a way to get those properties with minimal losses. Here's what we need to do..."

"So this is the man you saved in Riverwake..." Alaric glanced at the dark-skinned man who had removed his hood.
"Greetings, Lord Alaric!" Black Dog bowed his head. Knowing that Alaric was an heir of a noble household, he showed him the utmost respect.
Alaric waved his hand with a faint smile. "There's no need for formalities. What's your name?"
"Black Dog."
"Huh? Did you say your name was Black Dog?"
Alaric thought that he heard it wrong, but Black Dog confirmed it with a nod of his head.
"Can you still remember the name you had before you became a slave?" Alaric heard from Yvanna that this man was a slave warrior.
Black Dog shook his head as he replied. "I was a slave as far as I can remember and Black Dog was the name given to me by my former lord."
"I see." Alaric sighed upon hearing this.
"Let's start by changing your name. Calling you Black Dog is inappropriate. Do you mind if I give you a new name?" Alaric suggested.
Hearing this, Black Dog was surprised. He had never thought of changing his name, but when the choice was presented to him, he didn't even hesitate.
"Please give me a new name, my lord."
