A Governor?
Aether didn't answer.
He simply turned toward the pawn shop and entered through the door, gesturing for her to follow him.
Lily remained frozen for a moment, staring at his back with a mixture of confusion and fear. She didn't understand who this man was, why he had saved her, or why he was taking her to this strange pawn shop.
Still, she had nowhere else to go.
She cautiously followed him inside.
The old man behind the counter looked up when the two cloaked figures entered.
His eyes immediately narrowed.
His relaxed posture disappeared, and his expression became tense as he studied them both.
"What do you want?" he asked coldly.
Since Aether was still wearing the cloak, the old man had no idea who stood before him.
Aether remained silent for a moment.
Lily didn't know who Aether was, and as far as he understood, she had never been involved in anything related to his father.
