Playing the Fool

----

Brakar was astonished by the ease in which Apollo relinquished his hold over his items.

'So young yet willing to part with over 1,000 Fragment of Sins without flinching? Either his image of the item is absurd, or his pockets are immense. Either way, this deal isn't harmful to us since this particular stronghold is within reason. Though, I can't say the same for him.'

Immediately, Brakar likened Apollo's confidence to a misunderstanding of his own strength. After all, the household he intended to give Apollo carried a Winged Insignia, meaning its ruler was a genuine Archdemon. 

As far as he saw, Apollo was no more than a Greater Demon, and the three by his side were mere Lesser Demons. So, never in his wildest dreams would Brakar assume that he possessed an Archdemon by his side to outclass the members of the stronghold.
