"Danger?"
Hearing Claire's exceptionally serious words, Anvis's expression froze for a moment.
His mysterious azure eyes widened slightly, and faint surprise appeared on his elegant face, as if he had only just learned that the girl possessed such a trait.
But the next moment, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Watching the youth's reaction, the golden-haired Half-Elf girl took a breath, pursed her rosy lips, raised her lovely brows, and glared at Anvis with her clear, ocean-like eyes.
"Oh, don't misunderstand me, Senior Claire. I haven't taken your words lightly."
Seemingly understanding the meaning in the girl's gaze, Anvis raised his hands slightly and offered an elegant explanation.
"Do you remember my background? The Olyvendi Family of the North, known as the 'Undropped Crystal Bird'?"
"As a direct descendant who has yet to hold his coming-of-age ceremony, the fact that my family was willing to let me come to this island naturally means that I currently possess sufficient ability to ensure my own safety."
When he mentioned the title of "Undropped Crystal Bird" that circulated outside, a trace of self-mockery flickered deep within Anvis's eyes.
As he spoke, he spread his right hand and turned slightly, gesturing toward Claire, who had remained quietly standing behind and to his side throughout, wrapped in an inconspicuous brown linen cloak.
"Allow me to introduce him. This is Jom, Jom Olivenndi, a Rank 8 powerhouse.
"He is responsible for protecting me during this trip to the island."
At Anvis's introduction, a trace of gratitude flashed through Jom's eyes.
Though he was a Rank 8, he was currently only Anvis's guard.
When Anvis introduced his name, he had still included the surname "Olivenndi." This was equivalent to introducing him to Claire as an elder of his own family.
