Bab 768: Alliance with Ayden 

Upon hearing Esther's invitation, the king gave her permission to lead them towards the border Vicente was helping to fortify.

Some members of the royal guard weren't too keen on going to such a dangerous place, but the king wasn't the person one could contradict in public. With Ayden having made up his mind, his group accompanied him alongside Vicente and Esther.

Vicente's group stayed behind, except for Lauren, who had been accompanying her brother ever since they met.

On the way out of the city, the king couldn't help but talk to Vicente.

"Young man, I sense that there are some Dark Path magicians in your group. Do you trust them?" Ayden looked at Vicente, but the young Fuller couldn't help but notice the king looking at Lauren as well.

"Certainly. Apart from my sister, Lauren, all the Dark Path magicians have signed agreements with me. So I entirely trusted them."
