Ronin carefully glanced at everyone present.
"I cannot answer any questions in place of the Count." he replied.
"No worries, I just need your help to lure out the other Golden Rank expert. Rest assured, we only intend to subdue him." Brand replied, "To my knowledge, there are currently three beings of similar strength within this manor. Aside from the Count's personal guard, isn't there another residing on the second floor? With your status, you should be able to access the second floor, right?"
Ronin fell silent, glaring harshly at the knight behind Brand. He obviously knew who informed this young man of this. However, after considering a bit, he shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, I cannot accept. It goes against my belief."
Brand was slightly surprised to hear such a response and glanced at Ronin. Nowadays in Erune, those who still adhere to their beliefs are scarce. Before encountering Kulan, Brand almost thought that only he, the Princess, and the Valkyrie were such people.
