"The devils' involvement, huh? Alright, you've piqued my interest. So, what is it about? I want to hear it first," Aldrian said.
Carol sighed in relief. She remained silent for a moment, seemingly trying to compose herself before telling her story.
"If you know my name, then you must know where I'm from, bu—"
"No, I only know your name. I don't know your origin or anything about you. Just your name."
Carol was speechless. What kind of logic was that? They had never met before, yet he already knew her name. Wasn't he supposed to know her origin as well? If he didn't know her family or anything about her, then how did he know her name? Was this man playing a prank on her or something?
Carol felt genuinely exasperated but decided to keep it to herself.
"Alright, I apologize. I'm actually a young miss from one of the duke households in the Vindas Empire—the Duclan family. Or at least, I used to be," Carol said.
