383 A story

Ren was stunned by Valdel's question he wasn't expecting Valdel of all people to ask such a question. He was speechless, he didn't know what to say at the moment. Ren's mind started working overtime as he tried to figure out what to say next. All of this was happening in a fraction of a second and when one second came Ren finally thought of something to say. 

"Why are you asking such a weird question?" 

"Ren, you might think I'm naive, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid. When I first heard the story of the Demon Lord Kretos from Rachel and Natasha, I found that the bits of how they explained, Demon Lord Kretos who could've been a saint or a sinner, was rather intriguing, it actually reminded me of you. So that's when I got a bit interested to learn more about this secret past that no one knows of."
