"Glad it went without a hitch..." Raine uttered as she rests back on the sofa.

"You\'re right," Ravia put the glass she just finished wiping at the table, "In the end, the prince didn\'t show up even after the announcement ends. It seems like Lyan was right,"

"A war of wits, huh..." Staring at the scenery outside the window, Raine uttered the words with a complicated expression.

After the announcement and receiving the medals given by the city council, just like how he appeared, Lyan disappeared in the same grand manner. A big flame appeared surrounding him as if engulfing him, and at the moment the flame distinguished together with the sound of fingers snapped, he disappeared as well.

Of course, it\'s just his illusion magic. He\'s using a grand magic to deceive everyone\'s sight, giving them the scenery he wanted them to see. And according to the person, what they saw at that they might differ.

"What we saw that day was his usual appearance, wearing his cloak without using the hood. But for the other spectators, he was using a hood. While for the \'others\'....." (Ravia)

******************************************************

Inside a certain expensive inn inside the city of Arkansas, the crown prince, his personal guards, and the knights of the Astellia Kingdom are gathering in the crown prince\'s room.

"All of you... Did you see him? Did you see Evocatore appear at the podium after the appearance of the flame?" The crown prince asked to his knights and guards.

"We did not..." The captain of the royal knights, Julius, replied grimly.

"I see..." The crown prince stared at the outside through the window with an amused grin on his face.

Yes, just like his knights, he didn\'t see anyone appearing on the podium after the flame appeared. Not a single shadow or a single silhouette. But even though no one actually appeared, the grand reaction of the spectators and how they mentioned the name the prince is waiting confused them.

There should be no one, but they continue to shout his name.

\'Evocatore! Evocatore! Evocatore!\'

They are calling him as a champion that just obtained a large sum of wealth and glory from subjugating the goblin king brilliantly despite being a mercenary for less than a month. But even so, the crown prince and the other Astellians couldn\'t see his figure.

As if there is a certain veil that prevents them from looking at him.

"What do you think, your highness? Will he still come and answer your invitation?" The one who asked this question was not the captain of the royal knights, Julius. It\'s another person that was very trusted by the crown prince, and was the person that charged from behind the [Crows] and force their formation into disarray because of his might.

The captain of the crown prince\'s personal guard, Vilgira Vold. His strength is comparable to the captain of the royal knights, Julius, but he remained as the crown prince\'s shield, sword, and shadow.

"Hm... What do you think, Vil?" (Erich)

"He\'s too dangerous, your highness. I didn\'t sense any malice from him, but his strength is terrifying. As we still didn\'t know what kind of thing that might trigger him or make him turn against you, if we don\'t avoid him, we should silence him before he turns into a bigger threat in the future," He advised the prince with a firm look. Looking at his face, Erich could tell that he clearly feel threatened by Lyan\'s existence.

"Hou... It\'s rare for you to be this wary of someone, Vil," (Erich)

"Individually, he already possesses a powerful strength. I saw his skillful swordsmanship that was as refined as the captain of the royal knight\'s, and I saw his quick senses in battle. But even though he\'s plenty dangerous enough, he\'s a summoner that could summon such spirits and monsters with terrifying abilities. I believe all of us present at the time where the ones he summoned wiped out the goblins, hobgoblins, goblin champions, and the goblin king in such a short duration," Vilgira\'s face darkens as he remembered the scene he saw inside the goblin king\'s lair. It\'s not that he has any kind of enmity towards Lyan, but when he imagined such a person aimed for the life of his master, he knows that even if there is tens of him, he wouldn\'t be able to keep him safe.

"You\'re right. How about you, Julius? What do you think?" The prince shifted his sight towards the man beside Vilgira.

"In my opinion, we should be treating him with utmost care and drive him into our ally, your highness. As Vilgira had said, he\'s a very dangerous person, and it would be very dangerous if he turned against us. But if he became our ally, we could easily repel our enemies from both inside and outside the kingdom, your highness," A hint of excitement couldn\'t help but appear inside Julius\'s tone.

"You seem to be very fond of him, Julius. Continue," (Erich)

"I\'ve been observing him for a while, and I could say that he is a person that holds upon a certain amount of justice. Even though he could save his own life and retain his secret, he decided to expose his secret in exchange for the lives of the captives. At the very least, he\'s not a selfish or conceited person, and somehow..." (Julius)

"Somehow?" (Erich)

"His profile reminded me of your highnesses, his majesty, and captain..." (Julius)

Looking at the sentimental look of the knight before him, a certain figure appeared inside Erich\'s mind.

"He\'s a highly intellectual individual, he holds a powerful strength and gives off a certain sense of mysteriousness, but you could still see and sense the hint of kindness and justice from not only his eyes, but from his actions as well," Julius bowed his head as the memory of a certain someone\'s corpse entered his mind.

"Former captain of the royal knights, Griselda, huh... Even until now, we still didn\'t know what and who killed her since there is only her corpse when we found her. But you\'re right, his charisma does remind me of her as well," A smile formed on Erich\'s face as he remembered the excitement he felt when he saw Lyan unleash his hidden power and summoned all of his monsters. Little does he know that there are three more powerful monsters that he didn\'t bring with him since they are faithfully protecting their mothers.

"But it\'s a question of whether he will accept my invitation or not. But whether he came or not, it will be fine," Erich expose a bigger smile as he uttered the words.

"What will, your highness?" (Vilgira)

"My invitation. Sooner or later, he will definitely accept it. It\'s an invitation that fits him, and it\'s something that no one other than me and my father would give him. Well, father\'s words are rather surprising, but after hearing your thoughts, I guess it\'ll be the greatest gamble to take," (Erich)

Erich closed his eyes and imagined about the possibilities of what will happen in the future. With Lyan on their side, the percentage of victories for all of the future battles will rise more than just high.

"I\'m looking forward to the day that we stand at the same side again, Lyan. Well, I doubt that it will be that long, though," (Erich)

***************************************************

"He looks so cool, he must be very strong and handsome,"

"His entrance sent me shivers, it felt like I was witnessing the appearance of a great hero,"

"Just from his voice, he\'s definitely hot,"

"I don\'t care if he\'s ugly or not. I want to marry a strong and wealthy guy like him..."

Inside Madam\'s office at the House of Roses, the three most famous flowers uttered the words of the fans of the person that became the hottest topic of the city of mercenaries and merchants, Arkansas, with a tired and exasperated look on their faces.

"They didn\'t even see your face, what the hell!?" Alina shouted in irritation.

"Well, it can\'t be helped, right? He suddenly became wealthy enough to the point that his assets are almost the same as a feudal noble. It\'s any woman\'s dream to marry a handsome, strong, and wealthy man, right? Even though they didn\'t know his face, he\'s strong and wealthy enough for them to dream already," (Xena)

"But this is bad... Since we\'ve agreed with him that we didn\'t care no matter how many girls he has, it will be bad if he suddenly got 50 girls because of this, wouldn\'t it...?" (Belle)

\'Well, I doubt he will, though,\' added Belle.

"Right!? He did say that the Valkyries only pledged to serve him and not his lovers, but it\'s just a matter of time, right!? They are beautiful, but not only that, they are very strong as well!! Just like that, it\'s almost certain that he will get three more lovers in the near future!!" (Alina)

After Lyan and the others returned, Lyan went to clean his body up at the inn before coming straight to the House of Roses and splitting up with the Valkyries. After their \'Passionate\' reunion in the girls\' room, Lyan told them the whole story of the subjugation while cuddling with each other naked. Thinking that it would only be more troublesome if he hides about other girls, he explained everything about the Valkyries and the high spirits to them without hiding anything.

"Alina... Aren\'t you a big fan of the Valkyries before? If they became Lyan\'s lovers, you would be able to talk casually with them as well, right?" (Xena)

"W-Well that\'s true... But it\'s still complicated!! Not to mention that he also has eight beautiful spirits inside his grimoire, and the fact that he needs to sleep with women to increase the monsters of his grimoire, they will forget about us if the number of the women increases, wouldn\'t he!?!?" (Alina)

Right after Alina finished her outburst, someone appeared from the stairs, bringing some things in his hand.

"Girls, I bought your favorite sweets and food, let\'s laze around before the reward withdrawal time. Damn, Spending money without having to mind about the condition of your wallet felt very satisfying... Were you talking about something?" Lyan asked them as the sweets and foods that each Alina, Belle, Xena, and even the food that Ravia and Raine love are on his hands.

"Do you still think that he will, Alina-chan?" (Belle)

Looking at how the food in his hands, Alina remembers that she never said which is her favorite food and what sweets she fonds. And not only hers, but her best friends\' favorite food was also brought by him. It means that he\'s paying a lot of attention to them.

With a helpless smile as she couldn\'t help but disregard her only worry if the girls around him increased. Alina muttered under her breath.

"Well, he wouldn\'t, I guess?"
