Chapter 332: The Vanadir Coalition (2/2)

Whoosh!

And just like that, Dane disappeared from their sights, leaving Vanadir, Valentia, and Griselle alone. Not knowing who this Erea was, Griselle decided to ask Valentia about it, saying, ”Who's this Erea Vanadir's talking about?”

With a light giggle, Valentia replied, ”She's a cutie, that's for sure. Not only that, but she's also an incredibly talented mage. Will you believe if she's already a Rank 3 class wielder at the age of 15?”

”Seriously? Rank 3 at the age of 15? That's faster than both me and you,” Griselle said in response to her words before looking at the man beside them and continuing with a grin, ”And definitely tons of times faster than our Ninth Prince right here.”

Vanadir could not help but loudly cough in response as he let out an awkward chuckle. He then said in response to Griselle's words, ”I'm just making sure that my foundation is incredibly solid. Before the war for the throne starts, I'm sure you guys will be surprised to see me at the same rank you two have right now.”

”Yeah, yeah, whatever, Vanadir,” Valentia replied to Vanadir's words before letting out a peal of laughter. Soon after, Griselle let out some laughter as well, before being followed up by Vanadir. Seeing that it would take some time for Dane to bring Erea to where they were, they decided to catch up a bit more on their pasts, taking this time to clear up some past problems while reminiscing some of the good memories they made.

…

Eventually, after half an hour passed since Dane left the Ninth Prince's pavilion, the sound of wind blowing throughout the surroundings spread throughout the room as two silhouettes appeared near the entrance of the pavilion. These two were none other than Dane and Erea.

Noticing that Vanadir and the other two were looking at them, Dane let out an awkward chuckle as he said, ”I apologize for taking quite some time, Your Highness. Erea was too engrossed in learning a new spell, so I waited for her to finish before asking her to come with me.”

He then tapped on Erea's back, which prompted Erea to respectfully bow in front of Vanadir and say, ”I sincerely apologize, Your Highness.”

”Don't worry about it, Erea,” Vanadir said in response to her apology, lightly grinning. He then pointed to the two girls beside her and said, ”Come and introduce yourself to the two new members of the team, Erea. Get to know each other.”

Lightly nodding in response to Vanadir's words, Erea was about to do what she was asked, only to be smothered in the feeling of softness from the front soon after as Griselle embraced her while saying, ”She's so cute!”

She then looked at Dane and asked, ”Where did you find such a cute girl like this?”

”I don't know if that's the appropriate question to ask, Lady Griselle,” Dane said in response, scratching his head. Seeing that it would probably take some time for Erea to introduce herself to Griselle, and since Valentia already knew Erea, Vanadir decided that it was the right time to bring up a certain topic.

Standing up as he let out a light cough to catch their attention, he then told them, ”Since the main members of the team are currently here, it's time for us talk about something important.”

Sensing the seriousness of Vanadir's tone, the others went silent as they listened to what he had to say. With all of them focused on his next words, he then took in a deep breath before saying, ”We need to come up with a name for our team.”

”That's all?” Valentia scratched her head, wondering if Vanadir was playing a joke on them. Surprisingly, Vanadir nodded with sincerity as he replied, ”I mean it. Sure, you can laugh at me behind my back for bringing this up, but would you guys really want to fight under a team that has a bland name?”

”I don't really mind bland team names, Your Highness,” Dane responded before looking at the other three. He then continued, ”I may not be sure about the others though.”

”Well, whatever name works with me, as long as it doesn't sound stupid,” Valentia said after Dane was finished talking, to which Griselle continued, ”Same here.”

”Hmm…” As Vanadir lightly nodded at their words, he then pondered over a good team name they could use. Fortunately, it did not take long for him to come up with a good name as he looked at them with a grin and asked, ”How about we call our team the Vanadir Coalition?”

”Too self-centered,” Valentia hastily replied.

”Definitely selfish,” Griselle followed up.

”I think it embodies the whole purpose of the team. I think it's nice.” Surprisingly, Erea was not against the name. In fact, she was even fine with that being the name of the team.

”Ah! If Erea thinks it's nice then I'm fine with it!” Listening to Erea's response, Valentia hastily changed her opinion, which was followed up by Griselle saying, ”Same here!”

At this point, Vanadir could not help but look at Erea with an expression of gratitude, though in actuality, Erea couldn't care less about the name of the team. With the name finalized, Vanadir then announced, ”From now on, the Ninth Prince's team shall now be called the Vanadir Coalition!”

”…”

”…okay, now I see why you guys said it sounded selfish.”
