Chapter 729 - Why?

Gazing at the unassuming looking figure of Vyndridolth below, the white robed man, Tai-Liu flashed a charming smile and asked out.

"[Reptilian] That beautiful little angel hiding behind that ugly and dusty fabric is with you, right?" 

Her words caught Aiden off guard. Whilst it was true that the two have arrived together, they have paid attention not to stand out to anyone, nor show any special connection. Aiden was also fairly certain that nobody was focusing on them at the time. Yet, he was still seen through? What did he do wrong?

Noticing his troubled reaction, Tai-Liu chuckled with an amused expression.

"[Reptilian] Wouldn't you want your beloved companion to be safe? To be protected? Whilst I cannot directly support you, I can at least take her under my wing."

Aiden did not reply immediately and was expressionless, waiting for the man to continue and elaborate further.
