I stood there, stunned, unable to comprehend what Dion was saying.
Then Dion, misunderstanding something, continued to speak.
"Didn't you understand that? Miss Schuna is more suited to be my retainer. To prove that, we will have a duel, and if you lose to me, you should gracefully hand her over—that's what I mean!"
"..."
Well, no matter how many times he said it, it made no sense.
Looking sideways at Schuna, I saw that she, too, had a confused expression.
Still, I couldn't just leave it as it was.
After taking a deep breath, I faced Dion again.
"Dion, calm down. Even you should understand that such nonsense won't work—"
"Be silent, you useless fool!"
Dion interrupted me, his eyes filled with anger.
He took a step forward, pointing his finger at me as he continued.
"You're the one with the [Mark of Nothing], right? Don't you dare oppose me, the one with the [Mark of All]! Just keep your mouth shut and nod!"
