The Sakura Dragon Tree was a treasure, of course Ivita would want to pocket it as quickly as possible.
The Hearthstone Grand Witch proposed she could secure it inside her magical portable carriage, a space that absolutely no one but her could access!
Ivita blinked, pretending he hadn't heard that, and slipped the Sakura Dragon Tree into his breast pocket instead.
He was no fool. Handing over the Sakura Dragon Tree to the old witch, who knows if she might secretly sell it away one day.
To be fair, the Hearthstone Grand Witch wasn't really on his side in the strictest sense.
She's never truly pledged her loyalty to him.
In this world, the act of loyalty was universally respected as a law of nature.
Not confined to a specific time or place, but a universal law for all times and locations.
Only those who had pledged their loyalty could be trusted.
