As everyone made casual talk after dinner ended, Vlad approached Leone and sat beside him without even asking for permission.
The teenage boy looked up at the young man, only to then ask him a question that made everyone glance in his direction.
"Sir Leone, are you a Hero?" Vlad asked in a serious tone.
"A Hero?" Leone blinked. "What made you ask if I was a Hero?
"Because my sister said Heroes are people who shine brightly even in the darkness," Vlad said in a serious tone. "When I first saw you, your entire body was shining."
Leone chuckled and casually patted the boy's head in return, which made Zed flinch. No one in the Borderlands had dared to pat the head of his Young Lord due to his position.
And yet… this upstart chieftain who came out of nowhere was doing just that to his Young Lord?
Unforgivable!
But before Zed could tell Leone to stop treating his Young Lord like a pet, the Chieftain of the Aslan Tribe had already pulled his hand back.
