"However we could become family if you join my mercenary group."
Dorian smiled in response.
"An interesting idea...but I refuse."
But Maxime still wanted to insist a little.
"Why not? You could be much happier than you are right now."
"Our mercenary group has already saved many innocent lives."
Dorian, however, shook his head.
"You don't realize the repercussions there would be if I joined your group."
As the eldest son of a Duke, Dorian's vision was much broader than Maxime's, who was currently just the leader of a mercenary group.
But Maxime was rather intelligent, and suddenly realized a few things from Dorian's words.
If a genius knight like him were to join them, it would imply that he himself was stronger than Dorian, and that he could also have knight-level mercenaries.
