Eight Blades (Part 3)

"Eight Blades...?" Adam asked stumped, this was the first time he ever heard of such a thing.

It seemed like Franz should have answered, but instead, he only slightly waved his hand pointing at Silvana.

Unlike Adam, who only knew about the Twelve Branches and nobles superficially, she was well-informed.

"Ghm."

Silvana coughed before turning to Adam.

"The Eight Blades is the emblem of the Balo Family. Not that there's any mystery behind it, but if you agree to Franz's terms, you'll need to wear that emblem on you."

It was only Silvana's assumption, but neither Franz nor Rosalind interrupted her.

Adam frowned, looking intently at Franz.

"What, you didn't mention that. I'm not going to wear your emblem like some stigma!"

Franz raised his hand slightly, stopping Adam's indignation.

"Calm down. It'll only be for the duration of the fight in The Rule of Power, though no, it'll happen before the fight, just for a few seconds."
