Alister proceeded to finally make his way out, the metal door hissing as it closed behind him. Yuuto's gaze lingered on the door as he said, "Forgive me, Alister, but this is all I can do for now... But I swear by my lady's name... When the time comes, I'll gladly serve the best I can."
"But as of now..." He turned his gaze to the massive view of the city from the enormous window behind his seat and continued, "I have to play silent guardian a little longer."
...
As Alister made his way down the hall, his thoughts raced, 'Lesser time? But the quest countdown duration hasn't suddenly halved or anything. What was he trying to say?'
Alister's eyes were fixed on the system window displaying the quest details.

As the overlord of all dragons, you have made a promise!
