1379 A Life Saved

"What the hell was that all about?"

Mael exclaimed, his face and eyes filled with anger as he directed his gaze toward the meeting hall's entrance. He then turned to Demonmir, seeking an explanation for the unexpected turn of events.

Demonmir also shifted his attention to the exit Eren had taken, deep in thought. He glanced down at his palm, the one that had shaken hands with Eren, and narrowed his eyes with a hint of suspicion. "That brat Eren... he proposed that we halt our attacks on each other's forces and settle our conflict on a more personal level," Demonmir revealed, observing his palm with caution.

Reflecting on the meeting, he couldn't help but question whether agreeing to meet Eren had been a mistake. He realized that he was unable to take direct action against Eren or incite anti-Eren sentiments among the half-blood members present. Eren had proven adept at navigating the political and social traps set by Demonmir.
