Celine continued walking, her steps measured and graceful, but her eyes remained sharp, observing Vane from the corner of her vision.
Hmm…
He is different from the other heroes.
Unlike the summoned heroes under Supreme Goddess Zeyrinda, Goddess Maekaria, or Goddess Rafazelia, Vane is the only one my unit has investigated who does not openly sleep with women or treat them as playthings. The only woman who has been consistently by his side is Fayna.
She glanced around, her eyes scanning the area.
But I don't see Fayna now. Nor any of his party members.
Her thoughts sharpened.
That's unusual. From what I've gathered, his girls rarely leave his side for long. At least one of them is always with him or watching from a distance, especially Fayna. She is practically his shadow.
For her to be absent now… especially when a royal visitor has arrived… is suspicious.
Is he hiding something? Or is he simply being cautious?
