"— Or he was paid many times more by those who benefit from getting rid of Lord Adalard and his best fighters on the surface," Stefania speculated. "That one-eyed man is just strange in general. You know we took him and some strange young lady with us to Deus's birthday? In all the time I managed to observe him, he didn't seem to do anything overt, yet he easily wrapped our young master around his finger. Aldelion Grimm literally hung on his every word during their conversations. Honestly, I didn't like him from the start. But who are we to argue with the master's decisions?.."
- Ha-hah! The young master's situation is quite tragic. Having met with misunderstanding in the eyes of those around him, especially those close to him, he was surely waiting for someone he could open up to and chat with without filters, so it's no wonder that such a neutral person in his life fulfilled that role for him. With all due respect to His Genius, he made a mistake in raising his son - discipline without love yields no good fruit.
Stefania merely shrugged.
— I can't say I know much about the young master's situation, since we don't really interact. And if our eyes do meet, he looks at me as if he's seen a venomous snake. Father understands this better, but you know him, he's not one to gossip about others' affairs.
In another situation, the girl might have even sympathized with Aldelion, since she was raised in an atmosphere of love, understanding, and mutual respect. But the situation was different now, not to mention that the young heir clearly doesn't care what she thinks of him.
— In any case, I'm more concerned about something else right now. How do we get out of here? What will we encounter on our way? And what will become of Guildaria without proper protection and a wise ruler?
