"You want to stay behind with me?"
Tier's words immediately lifted Shien's spirits.
"Tier?"
Even Lumya and Merika were surprised, having never expected Tier to say such a thing.
"Are you sure?" Vivian's smile faded slightly as she looked at Tier and said seriously, "Staying in the royal capital may not necessarily be a good thing for you, right?"
After all, Tier was still hated by many nobles, and House Elbain, which she despised, was also here. She had left the royal capital for Lamigium precisely to escape those things. Now that she suddenly claimed she wanted to stay, it was no wonder Vivian was taking the matter so seriously.
Yet Tier looked perfectly calm.
"After the incident at Arutol Canyon, the radical nobles who would stop at nothing to deal with me have almost all been wiped out. Those who remain should be the more rational sort. Even if they still hate me, they won't make a move against me lightly." Tier said coldly, "Besides, what you just said applies to me as well. The royal capital is ultimately regarded as the center of the world. There are many strong people here, and many opportunities too. If I want to improve my strength quickly, staying here isn't unacceptable."
That was what she said, but everyone could clearly tell that Tier wanted to stay because of Shien.
This made everyone look at Shien and Tier in surprise, unable to understand when their relationship had become so close.
As for Shien, he was practically beaming.
"If you're willing to stay, then I probably won't need to hesitate anymore."
That was what Shien said.
There were actually quite a few things in the royal capital that attracted Shien.
Leaving aside everything else, he was still reluctant to part with the Magic Library.
