It sounded like a meaningless set of words that only seemed to point to the fact that Theron was actually incorrect this time, that she wasn't from another province at all and was quite related to the Sangun Clan.
But this wasn't what Theron heard at all. Instead, he was focused on something else entirely.
The old man that headed his branch of Daggers of the Night… he had a Sound Mana Echo, did he not?
Now, there was this woman here, also of Daggers of the Night, carrying intimate knowledge of secrets hidden in the most well-protected store of information in the whole Nightingale Province…
How did she know about it?
What was the goal of the old man in Daggers of the Night? Why did it seem like Raiden was so important to him, and yet he was willing to train Theron as well despite knowing they would certainly clash?
Why did it almost feel like the old man was laying low, hiding from something, or even trying to escape from something?
