The Reward
"I have learned that from my master."
Lucavion's mention of his master immediately caught Edris' attention, and his eyes lit up with interest. As far as the Baron knew, Lucavion was an orphan with no familial ties, so the mention of a master—a figure who had clearly played a significant role in shaping the young man's abilities and refinement—piqued his curiosity. It was only natural to assume that Lucavion's strength and noble bearing had come from this mysterious figure.
"Your master must be a truly remarkable person," Edris said thoughtfully, leaning forward slightly. "To have trained someone of your caliber… it speaks volumes about his own prominence."
'He was indeed a man like that.'
Lucavion's lips curled into a small smile, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Indeed," he said calmly, his tone steady. "My master was… very prominent."
