"Eight Blades...?" Adam asked stumped, this was the first time he ever heard of such a thing.

It seemed like Franz should have answered, but instead, he only slightly waved his hand pointing at Silvana.

Unlike Adam, who only knew about the Twelve Branches and nobles superficially, she was well-informed.

"Ghm."

Silvana coughed before turning to Adam.

"The Eight Blades is the emblem of the Balo Family. Not that there's any mystery behind it, but if you agree to Franz's terms, you'll need to wear that emblem on you."

It was only Silvana's assumption, but neither Franz nor Rosalind interrupted her.

Adam frowned, looking intently at Franz.

"What, you didn't mention that. I'm not going to wear your emblem like some stigma!"

Franz raised his hand slightly, stopping Adam's indignation.

"Calm down. It'll only be for the duration of the fight in The Rule of Power, though no, it'll happen before the fight, just for a few seconds."

"Hmm?" Adam tilted his head in a puzzled manner.

Franz smiled weakly, snapping his fingers.

At the same moment, Rosalind nodded and leaned forward. She deftly pulled an object from her pocket and placed it on the table.

It was a black octagonal emblem, eight purple blades without a hilt, pointing toward the center, touching each other with their tips but not crossing the line.

Adam leaned forward.

"Why? Didn't you decide in council that you shouldn't get in their way? At least this time."

Adam narrowed his eyes, he sensed Franz was hiding something.

"Though we've only known each other a short time, I'm sure you wouldn't go to such trouble to simply demonstrate your family's dislike of the Marzo and Rouset Families. Tell it like it is."

Oddly enough, it was Rosalind who entered the conversation this time.

"Mr. Adam, I understand your concern, but I'm afraid this touches on Sir's personal business, this is dangerous territory."

Whooooooosh.

Franz slowly raised his hand, stopping Rosalind.

"It's alright. I'm asking for his help, so he has a right to know. As a gesture of goodwill and for the sake of building our trust, I will tell you the reason for my desire to harm the Marzo and Rouzet Families, the Marzo Family especially."

The atmosphere grew heavier and more tense. Rosalind realized what should be done, so she picked up the tablet and placed it on the table.

After a few seconds, Adam and Silvana saw a picture of a young girl, in some ways, she looked like Franz, she also had purple hair, amethyst eyes, and soft pale skin like snow.

Silvana nodded slightly, as this was the kind of appearance most members of the Balo Family had, in some ways, it was their hallmark.

"This is Nelya, my younger sister. Unfortunately, unlike me, she is not a Light Noble, as she is an ordinary human and not a Phantom and..."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Franz's aura intensified, making the furniture shake and the wooden beams creak. He folded his hands in a lock, staring at one point with a grim gaze.

"Some bastard thought that gave him the right to disregard her opinion..."
