Chapter 121: Final Agreement, Send-Off, And Quest Completion
The black-haired woman, Aria, flinched, her eyes trembling. "What are you?"
"Rael," he replied plainly, dodging her question. "You don't need to know more at the moment. I just need a yes or no answer. When I come back, will your land be my enemy?"
"No...?" Aria replied, tilting her head. "We've only come here since the spider was making moves in the area. I thought you were one of the people it had under its control."
Seryn scoffed from the side, flashing Rael an 'I told you so' glance.
But of course, Rael ignored it and nodded at Aria.
"Well, as you can see, we aren't," Rael said.
"Mhm..." Aria simply hummed as she glanced around.
Her soldiers were startled by what had just happened. After all, Rael had literally invaded their bodies with ease.
"We aren't tyrants," Aria said. "People like to think of us that way due to the amount of power we wield. But I can assure you, we don't recklessly make enemies, and especially not with you."
"It's a wise choice," Rael chuckled.
