Lawrend left Elena's room and entered Aleshia's.
He saw Ember holding Zio in her arms. Aleshia was in front of her, and the two of them were smiling.
"Ah! Master, you're here," Aleshia called out with a smile.
"It's good that the two of you are friends now," Lawrend said.
He approached them with a smile. He was happy that the two of them were like this. It wouldn't be hard for Ember to assimilate because of this.
"Hmph. I asked Sister Aleshia about torture techniques. I can't wait to try them on you when you lose to me in the future," Ember said and raised her chin proudly.
"Did you really?" Lawrend asked Aleshia.
"It's just her wishful thinking, Master. I know you won't lose," Aleshia replied.
She had absolute trust in him. His strength and talents were not something Ember could compare to. She knew firsthand what kind of a mage he was.
