A thought gradually formed in Aur's mind, making his heart tremble as his pupils widened.
"Could it be…!?"
"Greetings, Aur," the man seated on the throne said, a smile on his face.
"Greetings as well." Aur bowed politely in response.
"Oh, you don't seem like someone who would be disrespectful to anyone."
The man's piercing crimson pupils shifted toward the eyepatched individual, his brows gradually knitting together.
"I…" The Tier Seven wizard gulped hard. "He really was disrespectful before."
"I hope you're telling the truth."
The man narrowed his eyes before turning back to Aur, his expression softening into a strangely warm smile.
"Umm…"
Aur looked at the man's narrowed eyes, confusion evident on his face. "Do you know me?"
"Of course, I know you. You're the monster who killed a Tier Seven wizard while still bound to your body—something unheard of except in the tales of the Human Emperor. Who knows if the tales are true or just mere fabrications?"
