Gareth's interest was peaked. Sophia didn't come to these foreign lands alone; she was unknowingly followed by a troupe of high-ranking Lyoki military members. "I swear on my life; anything to ensure Sophia's safety through this ordeal. I'm not strong, but I will at least keep the secret." He looked up to the moon, and to the great hall in the backdrop. He wouldn't let Jezin die in vain. He would help Eva and Sophia in mutually keeping each other alive. "So, we are to group with them soon?" They wouldn't be traveling in a small group anymore, they'd have a larger company with them. Travel would become much safer for them, and Sophia could remain in the country until she finished her duties. Once that was over with, Gareth had nothing to worry about in the way of his own safety; he was no prime target for the enemy, he was a simple squire. Not only would they be with a high-profile group in the Lyoki military, they'd be with the highest ranked soldier of the Lyoki military. So much turmoil in one night: earlier he thought they were doomed to die, but with this news, they could last far longer and not only defend themselves but also eliminate opponents, giving them mobility.
