The night before Paloma Quinn and Rhys Kidd headed to the battlefield together.
Ian Kaye privately met with Rhys Kidd.
Right there under the ancient ginkgo tree at Londern Temple.
The two were engaged in a secret conversation.
After that, Paloma Quinn and Rhys Kidd went to war.
Half a year later, Paloma Quinn returned triumphantly from the battlefield.
By then, Karth had already been destroyed.
The Valerion Kingdom's reputation spread quickly across the continent, and many small nations pledged loyalty and allegiance to them.
The first thing Paloma Quinn did upon returning was to head to Londern Temple, without even changing out of her armor.
She wanted to share the news first with Ian Kaye.
However, waiting for her at Londern Temple was only the cold corpse beneath the ginkgo tree.
Harvey Vance, ultimately, could not wait for Paloma Quinn to return.
This moment marked the greatest emotional turmoil for Paloma Quinn since her country's destruction.
