Seeing his daughter so excited, Astrachior could not help but smile wryly inside.
Those involved were blind, while outsiders saw clearly. His daughter had gone straight into a dead end and never come back out. Even now, she stubbornly believed Shadowcaster and Zayne were two different people.
Silly girl.
Astrachior sighed quietly. He gently rubbed Nia's head, his tone soft and patient, like he was coaxing a child.
"Nia, you have good taste. This Shadowcaster really is an outstanding young man."
"But taking in a disciple is no small matter. It requires careful consideration. How about this. Let Shadowcaster come with me to a certain place. I will test him. If he passes, I will take him as my disciple when we return. How does that sound?"
Nia's eyes lit up instantly.
"Really? That's great!"
Finally getting what she wanted and proving her beloved right, Nia was so happy she could hardly contain herself.
