"Why are you helping a Valier, I thought that your family and theirs are at odds with each other?"
Victor wasn't pressured one bit by the people surrounding him as he asked his question.
The armed men stood in a wide circle around him and Diana. Their weapons were already drawn, and mana moved faintly around their bodies. Yet Victor's posture remained loose, almost casual.
The contrast was striking.
Around him, tension had reached the point where even the slightest movement could ignite another battle.
Victor simply looked at Kite.
Kite's stern eyes narrowed.
"Why should I tell an outsider like you?"
Kite answered with a glare.
His voice carried the weight of someone accustomed to being obeyed. He was clearly trying to remind Victor that he was not speaking to an ordinary soldier.
Victor merely raised an eyebrow.
"An outsider?"
A faint smile appeared on his face.
