The room's atmosphere shifted as Yuuto stood silently for a moment. Lady Aiko adjusted her glasses once more, her expression unreadable. Finally, Yuuto broke the silence.
"I believe it is time I properly introduce myself, young lord," Yuuto said, inclining his head slightly. "My true name is Yu'Keto Von Chrono-Void. I once served your mother as one of her generals."
Alister's eyes narrowed, as he gazed at Yuuto. The name Yu'Keto stirred something deep within him, a sense of familiarity that he couldn't quite place.
"You served my mother?" Alister repeated.
Yuuto nodded. "Indeed. And for that, I must apologize for withholding this truth from you until now. It was not my intention to deceive, but I thought it best to wait until the time was right. I feared revealing my identity prematurely might hinder your growth."
