Chapter 93: Terrifying Woman

Damon took a measured moment before responding, his voice calm and even.

"Yes, it does. I believe he is a hunter in Athor's Sanctuary. He's particularly well-regarded in town."

Lilith's green eyes studied him intently, her expression unreadable.

"Is that so? You've met him, then?"

Damon nodded. "I have, before I entered the academy."

Lilith allowed a faint smile to cross her lips, though it held no warmth.

"Not recently?"

Damon shook his head, keeping his tone steady.

"No. I haven't left the academy since I enrolled here. It's common knowledge that first years aren't allowed into town."

Lilith's smile grew, but there was something sharp in her expression now.

"Is that so? You've never been in town since you got here?"

Damon shook his head again, adding a faint, self-deprecating chuckle.

"I'm a failing student. I have to study. How could I possibly have time to go into town?"
