Finding Trouble Deliberately

"Claude, it has been a few days since I last saw you. I didn't expect you to be so energetic."

Blake said faintly, "I did not come here to mock you. I came here to ask for your help."

"Ask for my help? Is that what the Lady Swordmistress wants? "

Claude's eyes lit up. He could endure being locked up in the dungeon. What he could not tolerate was the change in Christina's attitude toward him. Everything he had worked so hard for as the vice-captain was because of Christina. How could she not see it?

"No, this is my idea. Lady Swordmistress is currently preparing to enter the underground city with the Blood Rose adventurer team members. She didn't mention you."

"Since it's not Lady Swordmistress' idea, then you should leave."

"Well, that is what I need your help with."
