“The executives of the Cloudshadow Sect.” As they spoke, Raven and Cassian had already arrived at the sect’s territory.
Just as they stepped into the main hall, they saw several executives led by Timonthy hurrying out.
The moment they spotted Raven, they stopped and bowed deeply to her.
“Welcome back, Lady Valor!”
“And this must be Mr. Lysander, your fiancé?”
“Mr. Lysander, you are truly a remarkable man. Only someone like you is worthy of being the son–in–law of the Cloudshadow Sect!”
Raven quickly noticed a clear shift in the executives‘ attitude toward her.
Previously, while they had also treated her with courtesy and obedience, she could still sense their doubts and wariness.
But now, the executives standing before her had only fear and reverence in their eyes.
“Lady Valor.” Timonthy cautiously stepped forward and watched her expression as he spoke. “Mr. Mack Cherry called me earlier, demanding we avenge his grandson. That entire family is full of fools.”
He continued, “How dare they try to deceive us with an impostor and disrespect you like that? How foolish! But rest assured. On your wedding, we’ll make sure they understand the consequences of crossing our sect!”
“How are the preparations for the ceremony going?” Raven asked calmly, despite her curiosity about the executives‘ sudden shift in behavior.
Timonthy replied, “Everything is progressing smoothly. You don’t need to worry about a thing. This is the biggest celebration we’ve had in five years. Rest assured, it will be a grand event.”
After a moment of hesitation, he continued, “Lady Valor, there is one more matter I need to report, but…”
He glanced at Cassian, clearly unsure if he should speak in front of him.
“Perfect timing.” Raven interrupted coolly, sweeping a glance across, the group. “I have something to instruct you as well, Starting today, you will be responsible for training him.”
She continued, “Recall the top ten fighters of the Cloudshadow Sect. He will train with all of them. I want him to reach your level of power in a short period.”
“What?” Timonthy sucked in a sharp breath. He was stunned.
Expecting Cassian to achieve mastery in a short time, which took them decades of training, was unrealistic.
Of course, he didn’t dare voice such doubts aloud. Instead, he carefully chose his words and asked in a mild tone, “Lady Valor, isn’t that a bit… extreme for Mr. Lysander?”
He honestly couldn’t understand why Cassian would put himself through such hardship.
Just the title of being Lady Valor’s man was enough to walk unchallenged through all of Frihamen City. No one would dare mess with someone protected by the Cloudshadow Sect.
And if some idiot did try something, they could just assign Cassian a team of bodyguards. He didn’t have to go through grueling daily training.
To outsiders, it might look less like a romance and more like a vendetta.
“It’s not extreme at all.” Before Raven could speak, Cassian stepped forward. “Give me the strictest training plan you have.”

The other version of him had once endured a full year of hellish training to gain power. They were the same person. There was no reason he con
endure the same.
Cassian added, “Whatever it takes to make me a warrior in the shortest possible time, I’ll do it.”
Raven’s heart sank slightly as she heard him. She didn’t want Cassian to suffer.
But since he’d made up his mind, the only thing she could do now was fully support him.
“Lady Valor…” Timonthy looked to her, knowing this kind of decision couldn’t be made lightly. He certainly didn’t have the authority to refuse, but he was still holding out hope that she might change her mind.
