XXXX Continent, Seraph Kingdom, Arcana Tower
After being intimidated greatly by Cerius's position in the tower, a wall inside Veriano's mind, which told him to not tell the truth to Dane and Cerius, had been broken. Veriano and Dane then went ahead and made a deal in which Dane would not demote Veriano's position in the tower, to which Dane agreed with a sinister grin.
Hearing that Dane promised to not demote him, Veriano let out a sigh of relief as he recollected all of his thoughts regarding what Dane wanted to know. Not only that, he decided to talk about other stuff that would benefit Dane, in the off chance that the information given by him was insufficient for the deal.
Taking in a deep breath as he sat cross-legged, Veriano went ahead and looked up at Dane once more and said in a slightly glum tone, "I assume you already know this, but I'm trying to poach Erea Magimillia as a part of the team of the prince I'm under."
