"Fascinating," Selphira murmured. "You know? I think you should pay more attention to that boy."

"Yes," Selphira smiled. "In fact, I’d like you to report directly to me about him from now on."

Liora blinked in surprise. "You too want me to watch him?"

"Yes," Selphira nodded. "But be... subtle. We don’t need others getting territorial, do we?"

"Grandmother," Liora narrowed her eyes. "What are you planning?"

"Oh, nothing special," Selphira laughed softly. "Just making sure I don’t miss the show."

"You think he’ll do important things?"

"Dear," Selphira smiled, wisdom gleaming in her aged eyes. "He already is. The question is: who will be better positioned to capture him when he rises? Now take me to the main door..."

As they walked down the hallway, Selphira added almost to herself: "I didn’t expect so much from this visit, and... It will be fun imagining Sirius’s face when he learns I used coming here as an excuse to escape his boring petitions."

"Grandmother..." Liora sighed, though a small smile formed on her lips.

"What? An old woman needs her entertainment," Selphira laughed. "And something tells me that boy is going to provide me with plenty."

While walking away from Larissa’s room, Julius observed his brother from the corner of his eye.

"You’re not as unpleasant when giving orders anymore... You’ve changed," he commented casually.

Victor snorted. "You’re the unpleasant one."

"I’m serious," Julius smiled. "Before, you wouldn’t have let Larissa get away with it. You would have tripled her surveillance just on principle."

"Tch," Victor looked away. "It’s not a bad idea for her to keep an eye on that strange boy anyway. There’s something about him that doesn’t quite add up to me."

"So you’re not worried about her interest in him?"

"I just hope Larissa matures and understands her role on her own," Victor evaded the question. "She’s a princess, she can’t go around being fascinated by any commoner who shows unusual tricks."

Julius laughed softly. "You’ve matured." _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

"I don’t know whether to take that as a compliment," Victor growled, but after a moment added in a lower voice: "After going to look for father in that... madhouse in the platinum ring, I realized some things."

"Oh?"

"The world is too big to think you’re strong," Victor shook his head. "I was like a frog in a well, thinking the sky was only what I could see from below."

"Zhao said something similar when he returned from looking for you," Julius nodded. "Though I suppose it was worse for him… and he didn’t even have to enter the platinum ring."

"His beast is good at hiding," Victor acknowledged. "But he probably saw enough from the shadows and at the edge of the platinum 1 ring when he found me."

They walked in silence for a moment before Victor spoke again.

"Speaking of Zhao," his expression turned thoughtful. "Now that he’ll be a double tamer, maybe we should find him a good complement for his beast. He’s an excellent soldier."

"Thinking about the Goldcrests?"

"With things as they are," Victor nodded gravely, "we’ll need all the support possible when the time comes to punish them."
