He realized those names meant something for this Usurper slaying monster next to him, and also realized that they probably had yet to understand what was pointing its eyes at them.

"Right now, they're still in the Lufondal, in the territory of the Silver Tower. You can't go there though, they're on high alert, especially after their headmaster leaving to the North."
Celine's warning came fast, practical, as if she'd already run through the consequences in her mind and didn't want Ludwig making them worse by impulse.
