Lord Zanginis spoke in a friendly manner as he smiled, but he saw that Cain's eyes were still vigilant.
"Brat, our clan has always helped honorable warriors without reservation. We are indeed binding you from a certain point, but only through friendship and gratitude, nothing more.
The seven wives and fourteen children turned toward Cain with smiles, and there was no trace of deception in their faces.
Cain was momentarily at a loss for words and couldn't help but be amazed at the level of this scheme. It was direct, and unless you were a complete bastard who would betray those who helped you, it would work. He indeed felt at a loss since, as someone who liked to repay all his debts, he would certainly not forget this help.
"I see, then I can only say I will remember this grace."
"That's more like it."
Lord Zanginis smiled as he stood from his chair and looked at the rest of his family.
