“Oh? Why do you say that?” Seeing Philip’s actions, the woman asked.
“I have a grudge against the ancient dragon royal family,” Philip continued to make up a story. “Our faction was located in a remote village, but a mine was found there, and their people happened to know about it.”
Everyone listened to Philip’s story as they continued walking.
“They gave our faction a three-days notice, including the residents of that town. But our people had been staying there for generations, so how could we leave so easily?”
Philip gritted his teeth and said, “They resorted to violence when we disobeyed their orders, and even our mayor who pleaded for mercy was killed to be made into an example. Our faction fell apart because of that.”
After he finished speaking, Philip raised his foot and kicked Hiram, who was hurrying along.
Hiram had never suffered such collateral damage before. This person who suddenly appeared kept making things difficult for him.
Hiram said glumly, “My dear sir, it was the ancient dragon royal family who did that. It has nothing to do with ordinary citizens like us.”
Seeing Philip’s insistence, several members of the White Marsh royal family pulled Hiram to the edge.
The woman turned to Philip and said, “The White Marsh royal family has always been kind to others. You can stay in our territory in the future.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I appreciate it,” Philip said.
“I don’t know your name yet.”
Under the mask, Philip’s eyes darted around before he said, “My name is Carter Marsden.”
The woman nodded and said, “I’m Ayana Wisteria.”
Then, the woman quickly walked ahead.
