Shiayar's figure appeared in the lower levels of the gambling den.
With Shiayar's arrival, the originally noisy and chaotic gambling den suddenly fell into a deep silence.
Everyone stared, their silence filled with awe, even reverence, at the mysterious, half-masked figure before them.
In a corner of the gambling hall, a blond girl had stood up at some point, quietly following behind Shiayar without a word.
"Now, do you understand why His Highness chose him as the leader?"
A slight smile appeared on Dyres's lips as she spoke to Nightingale and Dark Raven beside her, and with light steps, she followed in Shiayar's footsteps.
Nightingale nodded, also following with the ghostlike agility of an assassin.
However, as she was about to leave, she looked at her older sister in surprise.
Dark Raven was still sitting in the corner, taking her time before awkwardly standing up.
