Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1514

"This journey was not only for the sake of Orivenia and Starhaven, but also for Nerathia. No need for thanks; relations between kingdoms are always driven by mutual interests. It is only through personal friendship that true sincerity arises," Faelan replied.

Carissa nodded thoughtfully, but curiosity got the better of her. "Might I ask if you know my mentor, Adrian Russell?"

Faelan chuckled. "I do. He has been to Nerathia and even stayed at my training grounds for a time. My guard commander, Shadow, is quite close with your mentor. They would often drink together."

"Ah, I see," Carissa mused, thinking back to the shadowy figures she had seen.

She wondered which of them was the esteemed Shadow. It would be a great pity if she couldn't meet him.

As if reading her mind, Faelan chuckled. "In three or five years, we'll visit Starhaven. When the time comes, I'll introduce you to Shadow."

Carissa was about to express her thanks, but Violet interjected, "Why wait three or five years? Couldn't you come sooner? We're all looking forward to you and Lady Elysia visiting."

Faelan smiled enigmatically, his expression holding a deeper meaning. "Now is not the time."

Since he wasn't offering any more information, it wouldn't be right to press the issue.
