"You've only been gone from the fortress for how long? And already you've accumulated so many titles?"
"Hatchling Order member!"
"Independent senator!"
"Even founded the Tycoon Club, and made the headmaster of Celestia Academy your mentee?"
"Velen? Independent senator? Should I just call you 'Grandmaster' now?"
Anastasia spoke with a teasing smile.
Velen scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Captain, just call me Velen. These titles were forced onto me, they're nothing but empty titles!"
"The kindness you've shown me, Captain, I still haven't repaid it!"
Velen said with a mischievous grin.
He needed to build a good rapport with Anastasia. If she kept being so harsh with him, things wouldn't go well. But if she eventually became his girlfriend...
Just thinking about it made him a little excited!
Velen knew Anastasia pretty well—cold on the outside, warm on the inside!
