“So you were learning by observing our surroundings?” I asked
“Yup And it helps that you know a lot and I have free access to your thoughts,” she confir
I could tell she was tired so, while I had a thousand questions about her seee in demeanor, I knew I had to wait
My eyes re of ed much There was still a sense of ie in the way she spoke; It felt like she was forcing herself to beco on ReadReadNovelFullonlinecom
I wasn’t sure what Lord Indrath had drilled intowas for sure—she had become aware that she was an asura
As Sylvie’s breathing became slower andup at the flat ceiling of hts
While Virion and the rest didn’t know this, Windsorona and the rest of his clan was like He and the rest of the Vritra had been experi on what the asuras called ‘lesser races’ even before they had escaped to Alacrya The few accounts ofspecial, but I knew they were simply cannon fodder meant to create mayhem with the mana beasts under their control to divide our forces
If what Windso our shores would include h their veins And this was centuries ago I could only iressed since then and what they would do to the people of Dicathen if the Vritra won this siege This place would just becorona would use to conquer Epheotus
“Arthur”
The hoarse baritone voice snapped hts “Isn’t there so so the door for that s didn’t go ith the business that you had to take care of?” Aldir said as he calmly took on the couch across froht you would be with the Council,” I said, ignoring his words
“There is so purple eye’s piercing gaze directed at“And what is that?”
There was a tense silence until Aldir let out a sigh
“Your help,” Aldir adhout the course of this war, and after your speech earlier, I think I understand why”
“What did Lord Indrath ment?” I asked As I sat up, Sylvie stirred awake but drifted back to sleep almost immediately after
“Lord Indrath realized that your contribution to this war shouldn’t be li a sword While there will be ti you out to every battle that occurs will only tire you out The times when you won’t be needed, you’ll be byus your input”
“Letlife-changing decisions with the Council?” I scoffed
“Aside from the fact that you are just a lesser, you’re not a normal child Don’t think that this eye is just a pretty decoration I knew there was so off about you the first time we’d met, but it was only by Lord Indrath’s words that I had realized just how et in return for helping you?” I asked, resting my head on ood faith to ask for your help, but it is to both of our benefit that you cooperate Losing this warenslaved, or worse Not just for you, but for your loved ones as well”
“You could’ve at least thrown hed “Yeah, I’ll help, but I’ to listen to Virion ht listen, but everyone else…”
“Let me worry about that,” Aldir replied “Besides, you won’t only be in s I have other plans for you as well”
“When you say ‘other plans’ like that, it sounds kind of ominous,” I chuckled
“As I said; you are a powerhouse in this war—iven a few years I would certainly not waste your abilities by having you sit through those lessers—I mean the Council—bicker with one another”
I shookfor you, being here and restrained fro despite the amount of manpower you could provide just by yourself”
“My tie is successful, then our arrona and his weakened force with the help of the Dicathen army”
“It seehed
“Yes, but this fight will be the start of a new era If Dicathen wins and fights alongside us asuras, Agrona and his clan of traitors and ain access to a new continent”
Aldir sounded hopeful, almost excited, despite usual calrona, haven’t you?” I asked, seeing the expression on the asura’s face
“Many of us lost a loved one in that battle—no, it would be better described as a massacre,” Aldir answered, the brow underneath his third eye twitching
“Well, you heard what I said to Virion; I have no intentions of losing this war, but if you’re going to ask ive”
Letting out a laugh through his nose, he replied, “Never did I think that in all my years, a lesser would speak toyour battles for you, so at least have the decency to call them by the names of their actual race,” I replied with a smirk
“You ask for a lot, Arthur Leywin, but very well” The white-haired asura stood up, s out the creases in his ivory robe “It’s about ti room It worriesWe will be expecting you shortly”
I let out a chuckle “Sure, I’ll go down soon, but I’”
“What is it?” the asura replied, looking back over his shoulder
“The two re lances that couldn’t join us today I know you said two years ago that they’re working under you, but you didn’t kill theht?”
Aldir shook his head “Even I wouldn’t be so rash as to kill a lance on a whim While political envoys can be replaced, the power of a lance can take years to develop, even if they had a particularly high co up the subject on those two at the ht it up, I’d like your input on this matter”
I nodded fervently as the asura revealed what he had been planning by using the two lances, when an idea struck rin as I let out a devious laugh “Not bad, but I have a better idea”
