Madelyn's cute and excited expression makes Lucien want to start stroking her ears immediately.
Still, he wouldn't do anything and would treat her very respectfully. Lucien couldn't deny that he was interested in Madelyn first because of her excellent wind affinity.
All he does is thinking for the sake of his family, and of course, his main objective now is to become stronger to rescue his mother. And he needs to do it fast.
So, Lucien was very direct with Madelyn. "Madelyn, my intention in telling you all of that is because, different from the girls who join my troops, I have a special proposal for you."
Madelyn couldn't contain her excitement. She exclaimed out excitedly. "What is it?"
Lucien made an apologetic expression. "It's like I told you the other day. I became interested in you first because of your wind affinity. I will need to be traveling by sea to different places, and I would like you to accompany me to increase the speed of my ship."
