Meeting Protector Vari Again

Long before Nara was presumed dead, she was best friends with Lady Lani, who back then was a disciple of the Shadow Haven Assassin Sect. One of the top ten sects on the human continent.

It's the top sect in the Kyrrith Kingdom.

She was a rising star, just like Nara was.

They became friends when Nara won the sect competition after battling her for two hours before the winner was determined.

Since then, they've done missions together, and through that, their rivalry was born from the countless battles they fought. 

On the surface, they are rivals, but they are best friends behind closed doors.

When Nara died, it broke her.

For an entire year, she never drew her dagger. She only picked it up when Protector Vari picked her as her hidden disciple.

Naturally, her master, who is a Kingdom Protector, knew what had happened to Nara, but like the other protectors, she chose not to concern herself with individual matters.
