"Don't go! It's definitely a trap!"
Darulunina instantly clutched Orson's arm, glaring warily at the captain of the Wolf Empire's guards.
Orson gave her a flat look—then at the handful of playing cards she still held. He was starting to wonder if his "Earth culture lessons" had been a mistake.
Darulunina gave him a sheepish grin. He flicked her forehead, ordering the kids to stay put in the room and wait.
"Please, this way."
The captain bowed, keeping a very cautious distance from the man who had erased one of his comrades with a gesture.
"Tell me something," Orson said casually as they walked. "What kind of man is this Godmaster, really?"
"A miracle given flesh," the captain said at once, eyes shining. "He shattered our chains! A legend from another world. His very presence is the brightest light in the Sunforge World!"
The moment the name was mentioned, the man grew feverish, pouring out tale after tale of the so-called Godmaster's miracles.
