Chapter 291: Captain Orlan
"This is Coco Hughes." Sinclair said, introducing a buzzing Coco to the man standing beside Alithe.
Sinclair, his hand still holding Coco’s, turned to the man with piercing eyes— his hair was a soft silver, almost shimmering in the soft glow of the night, his eyes were a steel blue, an intense and captivating color.
The man’s gaze shifted to Coco, his eyes locking onto hers with a steady stare.
Sinclair spoke, his voice formal and respectful, "Coco, this is Captain Orlan, the eldest child of Marchioness Monilia and the captain of the guards of order."
The man nodded his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over Coco as if appraising her, his expression was stoic, his face betraying no emotion and from looking at him alone, Coco could tell that the man was intimidating, his lightly muscular frame and stern expression gave an air of authority.
The Captain’s gaze stayed on Coco, his eyes studying her closely for a moment before he spoke.
"Welcome to Elyva Omylarion." He said, his voice low and smooth, "I am Captain Orlan, but you may refer to me as Eimon, because Alithe’s and Sinclair’s friend is a friend of mine as well."
Coco smiled with infectious enthusiasm, her head bobbing up and down as she responded.
"Likewise!" She said, her voice cheerful with her eyes sparkling with excitement as she returned his gaze.
There was no hint of timidity or nervousness in her demeanor, only eagerness and cordiality, and that caught the man off guard.
