"Years ago, most of you doubted my qualifications to be the captain. I'm not born vampire; I'm too young; I'm this and that…" Silvano snorted and stared at the doors of the Mirror Palace. "…I don't want to lose to someone I freely looked down on, Eve. Do you know? Every time I looked at Keagan Allard and Elijah Jenkins, all I saw were pathetic people who just happened to be involved with vampires.
Alas, Keagan Allard took back what was rightfully hers… and Elijah braved a world he didn't know just to find Petyr again." Silvano sighed and rubbed his neck. "I can't lose to them… I don't want to. That's why… I'm going to give this my all."
Eve didn't know what Silvano was getting at. However, she didn't say anything, encouraging him to continue with silence. He assented with a few more words: "Handle the Knights of Allard for me first. I'm going to find the original Stag in his time."
