章 158: Knight Leo and Mayor Reed

Sebastian stepped into the grand chamber, followed by Atelion. He gave a quick glance to the room, seeing, At the far end, a middle-aged woman with a stern expression

<This must be Mayor Reed. >

Beside her stood a tall, muscular man with a battle-scarred face and short-cropped hair.

<And that must be Knight Leo. >

Steeling his nerves, Sebastian made his way towards them, offering an awkward curtsy as he approached.

"Mayor Reed, Knight Leo," he said.

To his surprise, Leo let out a booming laugh. "Well, if it isn't Raigos! I must say, it's strange to see you being so formal with us." He clapped Sebastian on the back, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Stop joking now, though; it's weird to see my best friend being so polite toward me."

Sebastian blinked. "I, uh, yeah, yeah... I was, uh, joking, yes!" He stammered.

<Information number one, I'm apparently the best friend of this guy. Duly noted.>
