章 982: Lady Everfrost's Scheme

-----

"There is something else we need to discuss, please don't leave. I know I made you upset over my rude remarks…" Everfrost apologized. "But if you and your friends truly carry such tremendous power, not only could you help us, but you could help us improve this continent after its recovery…"

"…" I looked back. "And what do I gain from this?"

"Ah…" Everfrost was left speechless after my remark.

"Oi, Blake!" Elfriedden roared, running towards me and grabbing my shoulder. "We're friends, right? You can't just walk away from my mom! I've respected your mom all this time too!"

"…Fine." I sighed. "Because you're my good friend, I shall listen to your mother's whims. But let me tell you something, Elfriedden. Don't betray our friendship thinking you can use me for your political games."

"T-That's… not what we want…" Elfriedden muttered, feeling frustrated. He was clearly doubting his own statement.
