Three names remained between them.
Valttair reached forward and took the first document, rough fingers sliding over the parchment before lifting it slightly from the table.
"Lucien du Thal'zar. Twenty-eight," he said, reading the heading without inflection.
He scanned the contents in silence for a moment.
"Unmarried. Reserved. Does not intimidate easily, but does not seek unnecessary involvement either. Natural aptitude for warfare. Combat-oriented class. Ranked S in talent assessment. The family never disclosed the precise nature of his class."
He lowered the page slightly and looked at Elenara.
"What do you think of this one?"
Elenara's gaze did not leave Lucien's name.
"Lucien is a strong candidate," she said. "He will be easy to position. He is not deeply entangled in internal alliances, and he is pragmatic enough to understand the situation he is placed in. He was not treated well within his family structure. That kind of resentment can be useful."
