บท 30: Alaric's Strange Request

Piere sat beside Angela, looking confused, still processing all that had just happened. Meanwhile, Zanuba, Alaric's apprentice, crossed her arms and sat awkwardly, watching the close relationship between Alaric and Angela.

Angela wore a wide smile, appearing relaxed in her chair. Alaric, sitting across from her, looked completely at ease, as if he had just finished a busy day and now only wanted to enjoy time with an old friend. Around them, the smell of delicious food filled the air, making the atmosphere feel warm, even though they had just gone through a tense battle.

In the lingering silence, Piere finally couldn't resist the curiosity that had been nagging at him. Hesitantly, he turned to Angela, whom he called "Master."
