Pay a visit to death

Sebastian gulped down his saliva before having his seat on the couch facing Sato's desk directly.

"So, what is it you wanted to tell me?" Sato asked, his hand softly caressing the back of the Celi slime.

"If you are here to tell me I can no longer participate in it, I totally understand… I was the one that left halfway through." Sato hinted before Sebastian could finish his words. 

Sebastian spoke back, "It's the opposite actually… he told me you won the selection after the second stage".

Sato's eyes broadened in surprise but he made sure not to show it, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying they all forfeited at the last stage?" He asked.

"I wasn't provided that information, all I was told was you won and… The Duke told me to tell you he is ready to give his support in the war". Sebastian informed Sato, revealing everything Vlad told him.
