Kidnappy Boi

"Well, there's a bit of a story behind that. Are you interested?" I asked.

"Story?" Tristan asked confusedly.

Bruh, do you not know what a story is? It's that thing that mothers tell their children right before they go to bed.

"It means that explaining to you the 'why' behind my actions will take some time; it will be like telling a story to you. Are you ready for that?"

Timing wise, if I enlighten him on just the basic reasons then use teleportation magic, I should barely be able to reach the Old Blood Guild on time.

It's another story that I'm already late, but the sooner I get there, the better.

I'm not that particularly interested in explaining my motives to someone like Tristan, but like I said, he has been quite cooperative, so it's only fair that he gets rewarded.

At the very least, he'll die knowing where things went wrong.

"Yes," there was a certain resolve in his eyes.

Resolve? Just what is he planning?
