"It guides the restless souls of the world in the absence of the sun, and it lights up the darkness."
A faint smile appeared on Duke Osantra's face.
"That is a good way to put it."
The Duke slowly turned around until he was facing Ethan directly.
For a few moments, neither of them spoke.
The night remained quiet while the cool wind gently moved their cloaks.
Finally, Duke Osantra broke the silence.
"I called you here because I wanted to have a talk."
Ethan looked at him curiously.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Duke Osantra looked straight into Ethan's eyes.
His expression remained calm while a subtle smile rested on his face.
After a brief pause, he asked in an ordinary tone.
"How is your relationship with Regalina going?"
The simple question struck Ethan like a bolt of lightning.
"Cough!"
He almost choked on his own breath.
His eyes widened for a brief moment while countless warning bells instantly rang inside his head.
'What the hell?!'
