The Vastness of Magical Destiny

Faint sunshine sprinkled within the Tamber Fortress, and after learning of Komer and his party’s identities, the officers stationed here by Rosenborg became much more courteous. Although they couldn’t casually walk along the city wall, strolling along the interior perimeter went unquestioned. Komer had intentionally invited Eve and Grace out precisely to discuss the future direction of the Dark Night Angel Mercenary Group with them.

Seeing Eve’s thoughtful silence and Grace’s calm, serene demeanor, Komer was also somewhat unsure. If the two women were determined to develop in the South, he feared it would be difficult to persuade them to change their minds. Weighing his words carefully, he considered how to start the conversation in a way that would neither offend them nor ignore the reality of the situation.

"Eve, Grace, is it my identity that makes it hard for you to accept me?" Komer knew the key issue had to be addressed from his end; only by showing his sincerity could he hope to gain their understanding—especially Eve. He could sense that her background was probably not simple; the elegance and indifference that naturally emanated from her every move couldn’t be cultivated in an ordinary household.

"No, Komer, one’s birth and identity are not within one’s own control. Grace and I have also sensed that your identity is not so simple. However, what we don’t understand is why, having joined the Dark Night Angel Mercenary Group and repeatedly saying it’s not a whim or a mere game, can’t you be open with your comrades and reveal your identity? If you trust your comrades’ character, then what is there that cannot be spoken?"

"Of course, this is not the main reason we wish to part ways. The Dark Night Angel Mercenary Group carries a great responsibility. The deep vendetta owed by our comrades still needs to be avenged. Although the enemy is very powerful, the Dark Night Angel Mercenary Group will not be intimidated. The South has the best environment for mercenaries to survive; we think that the Dark Night Angel Mercenary Group should develop there."

Eve organized her thoughts and spoke frankly. She knew Komer aimed to persuade her and the others to follow him back to Caucasus. Frankly, although Caucasus was secluded, given the current situation of the Dark Night Angel Mercenary Group, it was undoubtedly a suitable place. Strong enemies would still appear on their southern journey, and Evie had no confidence they would be lucky enough to break through the encirclement again.

Following Komer not only added two powerful allies out of thin air but also, given Komer’s special identity, wherever they went, enemies would have to think thrice before carrying out attacks or assassinations.

Once back in Caucasus, it would be like a dragon entering the Abyss; for enemies to attempt assassinations on that land would be much more difficult.
