Althaia lifted her head up and looked at Siderius. She removed her helmet slowly.
"I don't know what to say to the Exalted Lady." Althaia's voice trembled.
"You will tell her the truth. That you meet an enemy you cannot defeat." Siderius said.
Althaia took a deep breath and stood up. She nodded at Siderius before turning her back and went away.
Ashe looked over to Damien, "You don't seem to be that upset about us letting her go. She is your captor."
Damien smiled, "That beast of a woman might be my enemy. But she treated me well on our journey. Because of that, I hold no grudge against her."
Siderius approached Damien. He summoned Silver Hawk again to slice the chain on him quickly.
"You aren't a third rank swordsman. But you have a Spirit Blade. How?" Damien said.
"How do you know I am not?"
"Because I am one. I can sense your willpower. It is immense. Much more than anyone I've seen but it's only Iron Will. Not the willpower of a Spirit Blade."
