Her Sister

It was a simple question but the expression that appeared on the gate master's face said a different story. 

Kent wasn't expecting that.

"What did you just say?" the Gate Master asked, looking closely at Kent. It appeared as though her eyes were scanning every inch of his face, observing even the slightest muscle movement. 

"I said I am looking for someone called Nara, and my master said I should talk to you," Kent repeated. The Gate Master's body shuddered. 

Her energy threatened to leak out, but because she had more self-control than one might think, she held steadfast and didn't make any foolish decisions. 

It wasn't like she would kill him, but she also never expected to hear such a name coming from Kent. That name shouldn't come from someone like him.

"Who is she to you?" Instead of answering, she asked. She wanted to know first why someone like Kent would be looking for Nara.
