The room was dark and all of the lights were off. The room was only illuminated lightly by the moonlight peeking through the gap between the curtains. There was a sofa and table in the center of the room that was ant for receiving guests, and a large desk and bookshelf placed near the wall. This room was an office.
There was a figure of a man behind the desk. Seated in the chair with the lights still off was a silver-haired man in a jacket with a standing collar.
He was in his late twenties, had handso features and a body that one could tell was well-trained even through the thick fabric of his jacket. He had his eyes closed inside the dark room, but he wasnt sleeping. He didnt just have his eyes closed, there wasnt a twitch of movent from his face or mouth, and his expression was unchanging, almost like it had been frozen. The way the moonlight lit up his silver hair and the contours of his face gave him a sowhat surreal look.
The man's na was Johann Eisfeld. He was the clan master of Lorelei, 3rd Star of Regalia.
It had been about ten years since Johann ca to the imperial capital. These days, he was a Seeker who had made a na for himself in the imperial capital, but surprisingly, he was a diocre man in his rookie days.
By no ans did it an that he was weak. After graduating from Seeker training school, he was recruited by Lorelei, which was already a major clan, and even after joining the clan, he was strong enough that he didn't get in the way of others.
Johanns Job was Spearman, a Job that could attack from both short and dium range. As he was a man who had a good mory and was able to handle anything skillfully, being a Spearman, which was a Job that was able to perform various roles well, shed well with Johanns nature.
However, even when being generous, his abilities were above average at most. There were plenty of Seekers who were better than Johann. Even within Lorelei, there was no one who saw Johann in a different light, and although he had been recruited, there were no plans to treat him as a candidate to beco an executive.
While capable, he was a jack of all trades and master of none that didnt have any outstanding abilities. That was the evaluation of Johann from those days.
It was after about five years had passed that his evaluation started to change. Johann, who had been diocre the entire ti, suddenly started to show remarkable results. It was such an abrupt change that there were many people who were surprised, both inside and outside of Lorelei, but it wasnt a bad thing. The Lorelei clan master at the ti was delighted because he believed that Johanns talent had awakened, and decided to treat him as an executive candidate.
However, from that ti on, accidents started occurring within the clan. They were winnable battles. There were no mistakes in their strategies. And yet, for so reason, people started to die. On top of that, those that died were all executives or executive candidates. In the end, in just one year, six mbers had died in battle.
The clan master felt that he was responsible and resigned. The sub-master beca the successor, but he also lost his life in battle. And the one who beca the new clan master was Johann. Lorelei, which had lost a total of eight important mbers, no longer had anyone left who was suitable to be the clan master other than Johann.
However, oddly enough, regardless of the fact that they had lost a lot of important mbers, the strength of the clan was overwhelmingly superior after Johann beca the clan master. In fact, Lorelei being recognized as one of the Regalia was sothing that happened a re six months after Johann beca the clan master.
Master, are you in?
There was a knock on the door of the office. It appeared that a clan mber had so business with him.
Yes. Co in
Johann opened his eyes slowly and responded to the person behind the door.
Excuse
The door was opened and a tanned youth with black hair wearing a black coat walked in. He had androgynous features and his mouth was hidden by the collar of his coat. His appearance was black from head to toe, with his eyes the only part that was red.
