Reilhahand's expression didn't change much. He just stroked his beard, almost amused. "Oh? To kill the man who's trying to unite the entire Great Forest? I wouldn't know anything about that," he said smoothly, though the lie was practically dripping off his words. His gaze slid toward me, his eyes narrowing slightly. "So this is the human I've heard about, huh?"
Lionel smirked, crossing his arms. "Unfortunately for you, your plan failed. He didn't even need help—he crushed your son and his men all by himself."
Reilhahand raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued, a faint smile curling at the edge of his lips. "By himself?" he repeated, chuckling under his breath. "Interesting…~"
After a brief interlude filled with uneasy silence, we were finally allowed to step past the gates and enter the Kingdom.
