Yuel glanced at Vangar, carefully choosing his words under the weight of that overwhelming presence.
"Besides me… there's also someone you know—Vincent."
"Vincent is one of the Female Master's partners as well?"
A faint flicker crossed Vangar's brow. That name was more than familiar.
Vincent was his most trusted subordinate—his chosen successor, the one he had long intended to inherit the position of Marshal.
And yet, both his most valued commander… and his future successor… had become his Female Master's partners.
A quiet, amused realization stirred within him. His Female Master was quite remarkable.
A thought suddenly occurred to him. "Who was the Female Master's first partner?" Vangar asked. "Was it you, or Vincent?"
He knew his own people well. With both Vincent and Yuel around, there was no way anyone else could have taken that position first.
At the question, the corner of Yuel's mouth twitched. "It was also Vincent."
