บท 624: Never Break

"Then, that man is why you are no longer a deme-rank?" asked Arthur while covering his mouth. "And the invasion began from the Sin Dungeon, Avarice?"

"That is right," nodded Juan. "There has been a dungeon break earlier today, but it was called an invasion because there were humanoid creatures within them. Furthermore, the man leading the invasion had demanded from the Yalveran Union."

"What kind of demands?" asked Arthur before glancing at Maryam, who was about to leave. "And where are you going?"

"I'm going to be less of a coward than you are," said Maryam. "I can't believe that you would still turn your back away after everything Oriole did and run."

"I have a lot on my plate already," said Arthur without standing back. "And I have no time to justify my acts to a brat. So you can leave if you want. Oriole won't be there."

"And you are okay with that?"

"I trust that he will be fine. Oriole is my equal, not my subordinate."
