"ARE you certain about this information?" Reas asked, hoping that the other was just spouting unfounded gossip.
"I got it from an insider. So, it's pretty much a sure thing," Ash said with a shrug.
Reas frowned a bit when he heard that. "You know someone from the academy?"
"No, not the academy. Someone from one of the five armies."
What Reas got from that was this guy was probably related to someone from the five armies. But the viability of this information still depended on whether the source had a high rank within the army they were part of.
"Someone?" he asked, trying to get the other to say who this 'source' might be.
"Don't be surprise but my older brother is a lieutenant under the strongest army of the Empire," Ash said, puffing out his chest, obviously very proud of that fact.
Strongest army? "The Aegis Army?" he spoke before thinking.
