"Why are you both telling me this?" William asked, switching his gaze between Ethan and Maximus without blinking.
Ethan met his eyes directly. "Because we need your help in this. We need the head of Demon Lord Kylark, and we know you are someone who won't refuse"
Maximus nodded firmly beside him, confirming every word without hesitation.
William leaned back slightly and studied them. "So you guys want to kill a demon lord and take his head?"
"Yes," Ethan replied. "And also kill the Sinclair Duchess, but that can be handeled by Maximus on his own."
The room fell silent for a brief moment.
William tilted his head and asked calmly, "What was your mana rank again, Ethan?" He emphasized Ethan's name deliberately, and pressed on the fact.
Ethan frowned at the shift in direction William took, but he answered steadily.
