"As far as we're concerned, Ilyin is a Dragon. The Terran was the only one we were unsure about."
"Ah, I understand. Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll inform them immediately." "Could you wait for five minutes before doing so?" "Certainly."
"Much appreciated."
I then focused my thoughts on Nila, whom I wasn't very familiar with. I thought about her appearance, her voice, her mannerisms—
"Young Lord Viktor!"
"First try. What are your plans for tonight?"
"What do you think I'm doing? Your allies haven't let us go yet."
"I believe that's about to change. If it does, would you be willing to accompany me to a small social event this evening?"
"I'd be honored, kind sir."
"Great. I'll see you in an hour, then."
"I'm looking forward to it."
I called for my security team to take me home so I could dress appropriately for the occasion. One mustn't be underdressed for Nocturne Castle.
