"I have awakened my bloodline talent."
"Ah?"
Lambert's steps halted, as if he had heard something fantastical.
Moments later, the astonishment faded, leaving only heartfelt joy for Louis.
"Don't tell anyone." Lambert reminded in a whisper, "Bloodline talent... it can be lifesaving at critical moments; keep it a secret as long as you can."
Louis nodded: "I understand."
He certainly knew the fewer people who knew about this, the better.
He told Lambert simply because he trusted him.
To him, Lambert was not just an Elite Knight.
For the former master, Lambert was more like a mentor and father figure, teaching him combat techniques since childhood.
Additionally, Lambert had sacrificed a lot for Louis; as a high-tier Elite Knight of the Calvin Clan, he could have stayed in the family and enjoyed life but chose to follow him to the impoverished and dangerous Northern Territory.
