Chapter 367: Another One

"Chaos… is the least of our worries?"

King Odin's quiet, but reverberating voice echoed throughout the hall; his eyes, unwavering as they traveled back and forth between Van and Latanya. And after a few seconds of the somber silence persisting in the air, King Odin let out a short but deep sigh.

"I have known you for a long time, Queen Latanya," King Odin then muttered, "It does not suit you to jest. Even if the little boy is as strong as the Allmother prophesied, the fact remains that he… is just a little boy; a life comparable to a single blink of my eye."

"And a blink is all master Van would need to wreak havoc. Even now, look at where we're standing; a hall used for eating, now totally wasted," Latanya then snickered as she looked Odin straight in the eyes, "And don't jest, you don't know me at all, gramps."

"...Gramps?"

"And with me by his side, then the number of beings he needs to be wary of in this world now goes down to zero."
