The Scarlet King immediately frowned and took a step back, displaying an expression of discomfort and mistrust. This reaction wasn't reflective of his current state of mind but was appropriate for a young man like Kain when facing a member of the Imperial Family.
Horus analyzed Kain's every move with a piercing gaze, and his interest dimmed as he saw the young man's response. He kept staring at Kain before closing his eyes briefly. His aura became more amicable and peaceful when he opened them again, and a tranquil smile graced his face.
"There's no need to be nervous. I was just curious about the person who saved one of our envoys and took him as a disciple. He goes by the name Scarlet King, am I right?"
The Scarlet King stared at Horus for a moment before softly nodding, still portraying the temperament of a young man unable to keep calm under the aura of a member of the Imperial Family.
