However, Samantha was somewhat dissatisfied with Janelle repeatedly calling her “Samantha“. Although they were both disciples of the Brown family. their masters were worlds apart.
However, due to her good manners, Samantha did not make things difficult for Janelle. Instead of rejecting her directly, she said, “If she’s truly talented, she will pass through the various stages of the selection process and become a candidate for the trusted aide to the future heir. The selection is overseen by the four lords themselves. I have no say in the matter.
“Furthermore, the four lords despise underhanded tactics or forming cliques. If you’re looking for shortcuts, it’s best to abandon the idea.
“The selected individuals will be responsible for protecting the heir’s safety. Such an important role cannot afford any mistakes. Do you not understand the importance of this selection?”
Thomas could sense the irritation in Samantha’s tone and was about to smooth things over when Janelle interjected, “Samantha, I haven’t even told you who this person is yet. How can you be so confident that she doesn’t meet the four lords‘ criteria?
“The person I know is Raven. She’s the most gifted martial artist I’ve ever seen, and I believe you will be impressed if you give her a chance.”
Samantha’s face, which held a look of disdain earlier, suddenly changed when she heard the name. Her expression turned serious as she quickly asked, “The person you’re talking about is Raven Valor? What is your relationship with her?”
Janelle felt her heart race. She did not expect Samantha to react so strongly. It seemed that Raven and Samantha had a complicated relationship, but she could not figure out what that relationship was.
Before Janelle could probe further, Samantha quickly pressed on. “Tell me now. Where is Raven right now? Is she on her way to Deariton, or has she already arrived? If she’s already here, it might be too late! I need to head to the checkpoint right away and wait for her!”
Janelle was taken aback by her urgency, replying cautiously. “Samantha, I know Raven, but she hasn’t reached Deariton yet. I’m not sure where she is right now, but I can try to contact her. However, I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to reach her.”
She paused dramatically before adding, “I can see that you’re so eager to find her. Do you know Raven as well?”
‘Who is this Raven? Even Samantha, who was far away in Deariton, has heard of her name?‘ Janelle wondered.
Samantha hesitated briefly, unsure if she should reveal Raven’s identity. However, she remembered Keegan’s instructions before he left. She thus reluctantly said, “Raven is a talent Keegan has personally selected. He intends to make her a trusted aide to the future heir.”
Without noticing the change in Janelle’s expression, Samantha adopted a more cordial tone and said, “Janelle, I didn’t expect you to know Raven. You’re quite fortunate. If Raven gains the recognition of the lords and becomes a trusted aide to the future heir, she will certainly find a way to promote you.
“The lords place great importance on the future heir. Even the shadow guard trusted aides are selected carefully. If you know someone close to the heir, it will be very beneficial to your future growth.”
