Paris, France. Grand Duchess Ah Hae-In's residence.
Unlike the gloomy Prestige, the outside world's sky was clear and blue.
"...Thank you once again. We will do our best not to disappoint you in your partnership with Essence of the Strait."
Yoo Yeonha was successfully completing her contract with Ah Hae-In, the female progenitor of the Ah family and an 8-star magician who was on the verge of becoming 9-star.
Ah Hae-In, sitting in front of Yoo Yeonha, gave a faint smile.
"I could say the same to you. I heard a rumor that my nephew is also in Essence of the Strait."
Yoo Yeonha smiled in satisfaction at Ah Hae-In's remark.
"Yes. Baire Moren-ssi is taking an active part in the Guild."
More than four years ago, 'Baire Moren' participated in the same archery competition as Kim Hajin at the Cube Festival. At the time, he had lost to Kim Hajin even with the help of Ah Hae-In. Now he was a member of Essence of the Strait.
The only reason for his recruitment was to win the favor of Ah Hae-In
"Then, will my nephew enter the Tower of Wish this time?"
Yoo Yeonha couldn't give an affirmative answer to that question.
"We are... not so sure about that yet. The will of the individual is the most important thing when deciding to enter a Tower... But if Moren-ssi wants to, then I don't see why not."
"Haha. You don't have to try so hard. I know my nephew's strength well. If he goes into the Tower now, he will only become prey to others. I want to see my nephew around for a long time. It's not like I expect him to become a great hero."
Ah Hae-In gave a meaningful smile.
"But still, wouldn't my nephew's looks guarantee him success in the entertainment industry?"
That was what Yoo Yeonha wanted as well. She replied with an assuring smile.
"...Of course."
"Good then. I look forward to working with you."
Her meeting with Ah Hae-In was a success from beginning to end.
Yoo Yeonha clenched her fists with joy.
The news of Ah Hae-In joining hands with Essence of the Strait would surprise their foes and encourage their friends.
How would the public and their rivals react to the partnership?
Yoo Yeonha couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Oh, by the way, what is that guy Fenrir up to nowadays?"
Then suddenly, Ah Hae-In asked a rather strange question.
Yoo Yeonha widened her eyes in surprise at the sudden appearance of an unexpected name.
"Were you interested in mercenaries as well?"
"It's not that, he just left a deep impression on me. It's already been four years, yet I still remember him."
"Ah... You mean the archery competition, right?"
Yoo Yeonha recalled what happened four years ago.
During Cube's Class Competitions, Kim Hajin had showed off a mystical curve shot against Baire Moren.
With just one arrow, Kim Hajin had gained a number of admirers and brought several guilds' attention to himself.
"Yes. To an old fellow like me, it seems like a waste for a master archer like himself to be using guns."
