Chapter 45: Valeria's New Dress

Vargus turned his gaze towards Valeria, his expression softening as he addressed her, "Elder Valeria, it appears the time has come for us to open our gates and demonstrate our strength to those who underestimate us."

Valeria, absorbing his words, nodded thoughtfully before responding. "Indeed, opening our gates is a significant step. However, there are preparations to be made first." Her voice carried the wisdom of her experience, highlighting the strategic considerations behind such a decisive move.

Vargus, intrigued by Valeria's implication, inquired, "What kind of preparations must we make before we proceed?"

Elder Valeria, understanding the importance of formalities in their world, replied, "Before we make any bold moves, we must officially register our new sect. It's a crucial step in legitimizing our presence and intentions." Her advice underscored the necessity of adhering to the established protocols.
