"Thanks to you, everyone in the family is training hard," Lan spoke with a smile, lightly sipping her tea as she gazed at Azrail, who sat in front of her. Azrail nodded his head at those words, looking through all the documents in front of his mother. The work she has to deal with is not small, but Azrail knows better than his mother enjoys this kind of work, the feeling of her own empire growing being something sweet.
"You really sent your shadow for this?" Azrail's mother asked as she eyed him, to which he nodded his head, his eyes looking outward towards the world as he spoke.
"Her talents are frightening, and perhaps they might even grow stronger with her in my shadow, but I know she will grow to her best self when she thrives by taking away the shadows of others."
His words made Lan smile a bit as she placed the cup back on the table, her eyes eyeing through the list in front of her, after which she spoke.
