Garion looked back at the flying ship and yelled out loud.
"Arden, come here. It's time for you to step up and get them to pay for what they did years ago."
Arden took a deep breath and nodded. "Understood, Master."
He walked out from the flying ship toward Garion and the rest.
The crowd from Avenora Clan were shocked the moment they saw him.
All the elders were also shocked, blinking in disbelief and exchanging some glances.
Even Aveline herself was surprised when she saw him. "Arden..."
Garion noticed the shift of her tone, raising an eyebrow. "You know him?"
Aveline looked at Arden for a moment before turning to Garion and nodding. "Of course, he's my nephew."
That single sentence froze everyone in place.
Raviel's jaw dropped. "Wait, nephew? You mean that he's part of your bloodline."
Garion narrowed his eyes. "You're saying that Arden here is your nephew? Is that for real?"
Aveline sighed slightly. "Yes, he was born into the main family. He's my sister's son."
