"May I make your acquaintance?" Richard asked with a slight bow.
Elena hesitated before replying. "My name is Elena Blake. I am an Explorer researching the reason for the downfall of Nazarene."
A blatant lie but she deemed it necessary. Even though Richard seemed quite friendly, she wasn't the type to trust someone just because they were nice and friendly toward her.

Richard nodded. "Elena Blake. Quite a beautiful name. It suits you greatly."
"T-thank you." Of course, she still had to figure out how to break out of Richard's charms that were running rampage in her body.
"So you said you are an Explorer?"
"Yes."
"That's a nice job but I should say that it wasn't smart of you to have come all the way here."
"Why though?"
