"T-Thank you, kind sir, you s-saved my life" Aveline stuttered so badly that she barely got the word out, his presence was just too intimidating, just who is he?
Nicklaus said nothing to the little girl before him, instead, he took his time to study her, her aura and everything about her were off the charts, and are those pointy ears? What creature is she? He has never sensed anyone like her before.
"What are you doing in these parts?" he asked and Aveline shuddered again just by hearing his voice.
"I'm a traveler"
"You're not a very good liar are you?" he raised an eyebrow and she froze, gulping so hard that her throat would fall out. "You little one call to something that does not belong to you and I'm not exactly friendly to thieves"
"I-I'm not a thief!" Aveline interjected as she took a step backward, she was still in shock, how does he know she calls to the Dark Grimoire? Is he from the palace?
