Ulysses coiled a strand of his hair around his finger with a wry smile.
His grin had a serpent-like quality to it - enchanting, mischievous, and oddly gentle.
"If you knew, why did you follow me?"
"To see if you brought any company."
‘Might as well take care of all of you at once.’

He acted so carefreely in this situation, it was as if we were at a picnic or something.
‘I did have my suspicions, but it seems he really is a king who takes care of things himself. He certainly outdoes Joshua in terms of diligence. Or perhaps he has no other choice. For instance, he might be the only one who can flawlessly alter his voice and appearance.’
I spat my words out as I cast another offensive spell.
"You do know it's only proper to let yourself be captured when you enter enemy territory, right?"
