Ash walked along East Lake for quite a while without discovering anything, just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly noticed three mages in black guarding the entrance to the lawn next to the library's small garden. Two of these mages were Gold-level, one was Holy Domain, a rather extravagant setup for guards.
Ash felt a stir in his heart, leaping up onto a tall streetlamp, from where he could see two blonde beauties sitting in a small pavilion within the garden, one of whom was Felix.
And sitting opposite her was none other than one of the top five nobles of the Kingdom of Stars, once a swordsmanship genius on par with Sonia, and the only blood relative of Felix—
Demi Vosloda.
"...This time I can let the Throne Hall ignore your presence, but if you continue to act with them, even I won't be able to keep covering for you," Demi's voice was filled with fatigue and helplessness, looking at his sister with a touch of pleading in his eyes.
