In the Cromwell Kingdom...
"Who are you people?" Aina stared intently at the two seated opposite her, her tone cold and expression very serious.
The ones across from her were none other than Soren and Serene. After leaving the Vermilion Kingdom, they had come straight to Cromwell after tricking the guard into missing them.
However, they had been stopped at the border near Luminary Forest and immediately brought to Aina.
'A Valkyrie, huh.' Soren's eyes glinted as he studied the red-haired woman with intrigue and interest.
He cleared his throat. "My name is Soren, and this is my sister Serene… we heard the Cromwell Kingdom was relatively new and decided to check it out."
Aina frowned, staring right at them. She didn't say a word for a full minute, her gaze fixed on the pair as though trying to see through them.
Those piercing eyes, for some reason, annoyed Serene, who felt naked under the scrutiny. Instinctively, she shifted her gaze away.
