The Last Settlement

The two guards glanced at me from time to time, trying to hide the hatred and fear in their eyes. Since it wouldn't warrant my actions if I paid them any attention, I decided to ignore them. Meanwhile, I was clutching Natalia's hand as if she were my lifeline. If worse comes to worst, she can fight head to head with probably anyone here and if I were to power up with the help of the System, we would be quite a formidable force.

I'm sure that White allowed Natalia to go with us just so he could gain my trust. Although she posed a greater threat than me, he still allowed her to go, indirectly implying that I should trust him as well. Of course, ever since we fought in the Void Tower Dungeon, I already unequivocally trusted him. There was no room for doubt since his actions were sincere.
