In his black cat form, he lifted his head, vertical pupils gazing directly at Shire, as if able to pierce through appearances and see into one's heart.
"As a Lord, you have been diligent and your achievements are notable."
Galos said, "So, tell me, what kind of reward do you desire?"
Realizing that his little secret seemed to have been seen through, the Flower Lord showed a slightly embarrassed smile.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I found my true love in the Ximu Territory."
"However, she is not human, but a beautiful and wise Snake Woman, Beverly."
Galos had already known about this from Iron Dragon Solrog and the Snake-man Sword Saint; he slightly nodded his giant cat head, signaling the other to continue without beating around the bush.
With the Lord's approval, Shire breathed a sigh of relief, his lips curling into a sweet smile.
"After becoming partners, our relationship has always been harmonious and our souls are in sync."
