Gaven answered without hesitation, "For the Valley Covenant, Lord wants me to lead the Conqueror Army in swearing the Valley Covenant!"
He used a declarative sentence, not an interrogative.
On the way here, he had already given this matter careful thought. With so many places available, Lord Ilmet did not choose another; why choose the Standing Stone instead? Aside from the Valley Covenant, he couldn't come up with a better reason.
"That's right." Lord Ilmet nodded heavily and said, "To truly understand what the Valley is, to integrate into the Valley, you must know what the Valley Covenant is.
Merely knowing is not enough; you must adhere to it, guard it, be willing to fight for it. When you achieve this, that will be the moment you become a true Valley Person."
"Thank you for your guidance, my Lord. I understand what to do now." Gaven instantly understood Lord Ilmet's kind intentions.
