In Oduin Hall, Lurans and Bruno spoke for a long time before Lurans departed.
Their main topics of discussion were the mining of the large iron deposit and the matter of the political marriage between Ronin and Blanche.
"Father, how did your talk go?" Garrett asked as he walked into the hall.
Bruno nodded. "It went well. There are no issues with the cooperation between Oduin and the Wushan Clan."
"Lurans's temperament has mellowed considerably—he's not as sharp-edged as he once was. But when the Villa Duchy was mentioned, I could still sense his anger."
Garrett wasn't particularly interested in past events; he only cared about the present.
"I just sparred with Ronin."
"Oh?" Bruno looked curious. "I didn't expect you to act so quickly. What was the outcome?"
"Although I had him suppressed and on the defensive during our match, and he eventually conceded defeat..."
Garrett stated with certainty, "I am positive he's a Silver Moon Knight!"
