While Iris was thinking about the possibility of Nathan, Nathan himself was gloating in his mind.
After closing his eyes and ears, he felt that the one he was talking to was Eth and not somebody else.
With this, Nathan was able to keep a calm mind and scam Iris.
'I want to buy Merlin, but with Sword Maiden already here, it can't be helped. I'll give up on her.'
The reason Nathan refused was that he didn't want to do anything with Sword Maiden.
In the novel, it was never told on what basis members of Round Table were ranked. But Nathan and a few fans had a theory.
'The higher the rank, the crazier and more psychotic the member. So, as Seat 1, Sword Maiden is obviously the craziest of all.'
Iris, who heard his answer, grinned.
'He doesn't seem to be bluffing. But even then, he has the guts to say that to my face. Isn't he afraid I'll kill him if I am pissed? I think I'm quite famous for doing that.'
