Durin's Diary

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet: "I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf." "You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles." "But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.' Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Chapter 187: One Day

"I've decided to take Irene back with me."

Another morning dawned, and as Durin watched on the balcony as the night receded, waiting for the sunrise, Anta appeared before him.

Clad in a red mage's robe, there was no hesitation in the eyes of Durin's ally.

"I've listened to Irene's story and performed tests on her. Her red feather bloodline is undergoing a second awakening. She may possess even greater spellcasting talent than I do, so I must go back on my word, Durin. To ensure she can help us better in the future rather than become a burden, I want to take her back, enroll her in the Mage Academy. The academy in the Eastern Elven Territory will teach her well, and I'll oversee her studies."

"Good," Durin nodded. "I will also come to visit you both from time to time."

"I've earned my red robe now; we can come to visit you too."
