"But it seems now it's too late for you, my lord. You already belong to Miss Cleya,"
Rein smiled without saying a word.
As of this moment, only Rein himself was aware that there was no follower's contract of any kind signed between him and Cleya.
After Rein revealed the origins of his breathing technique and swordsmanship, he distinctly felt Knight Lloyd become more amiable.
All he heard the other say was, "Rein, you mentioned you've been learning Hammer Skill recently. How about we exchange some pointers after the banquet?"
Hmm?
Is this my lucky break?
An 'NPC' coming to me to level up?
Rein couldn't help but beam with joy and hastily agreed, "Of course, it would be my honor!"
From their conversation, Rein learned that Knight Lloyd, besides being skilled with a one-handed sword, was also highly proficient with a one-handed hammer.
After all, in a knight's battle, whoever first breaches the opponent's 'iron shell' can claim to have won half the battle.
