Rean and Min were also curious about that. "Back when you thought only you and Erla were listening, you mentioned that you would make sure the White Scaled Carp race would be safe. It's not the kind of words you would use if both races were on friendly terms."
Blansin's expression turned worse when he heard those questions. "After you left, my Silver Horn Sturgeon race finally succeeded in forcing one of the elders from your race to talk. Only then did we find out that Erla really was the next Pristine Blue Carp. Naturally, the elders of our race were enraged."
Rean nodded, saying, "Well, that's to be expected. You were both supposed to be friends. However, the White Scaled Carp race hid the fact they knew who the Pristine Blue Carp was. It was obvious that they intended to use Erla in the future for their own gains... or so your elders thought."
