"Alright! Now that everything is settled, it is time for Layland to prepare for his departure."
"What departure?" I turn my puzzled gaze to Ilschevar.
Ilschevar blinks his eyes. "Hasn't Valeria told you that you are going to join the army today?"
"I believe she hasn't told me anything about it." I look at Valeria mildly.
"I was afraid that the coward I knew would refuse to join the army and fail his Awakening, if I told him about that in advance, Lord Ilschevar. I was planning to tell him right after this," Valeria reasons calmly.
"Well, it is elating to know that the coward you supposed to know has already become a man, isn't it?" Ilschevar looks at me with a small smile. "Layland seems eager to join the army."
I am pretty neutral about the revelation, so I neither nod my head to confirm Ilschevar's word, nor do I vehemently deny him. I am, however, curious about the army—the other Demons that I haven't met yet.
