“Aunt Laura. I get it! Just worry about yourself,” Claude e replied.

Her expression was calm and indifferent. She didn’t share Laura’s admiration for Magnus Zelinsky.

Magnus was undoubtedly intelligent, and she acknowledged his cleverness. But for her to be captivated by him? That was out of the question. Her type wasn’t the scholarly kind.

“That’s good to hear.”

Laura breathed a sigh of relief but then suddenly added, “If only your dad were here. He was quite skilled in warfare, too. I wonder how he’s doing now?”

“Dad?” Claudette asked, her curiosity piqued.

Unable to resist her daughter’s persistent questioning, and seeing as they had time to kill at the foot of the mountain Laura decided to share the story of Claudette’s father, recounting his experiences and the intertwined history of the Lenoir and Zelinsky families.

By the time she finished, Claudette felt even more averse to Magnus. Even though Laura had emphasized that her father’s abrupt reassignment had nothing to do with Magnus, the fact that he was part of the Zelinsky family was enough to leave a bad taste in her mouth.

Meanwhile, Magnus had already changed into the Five Poison Sect’s uniform and put on one of their identity necklaces. He approached their car window.

Though Laura repeatedly told her daughter not to fall for Magnus‘ advances, she was the one who helpfully rolled down the window to let them talk.

“Claudette, I’m heading into the Five Poison Sect’s territory. Stay safe out here,” Magnus said with concern.

“Alright, good luck!” Claudette replied nonchalantly, offering no further words of encouragement.

Magnus smiled warmly. “With a princess cheering me on, I’ll be unstoppable as the knight. I’ll crush the cult and restore peace to the West End. It’s also part of my redemption for past mistakes.”

“So, you’ve done a lot of bad things before?” Claudette asked, following his lead.

“Perhaps they were bad in some people’s eyes,” Magnus admitted, his gaze resolute.
