"Eh?"
Hearing Aster Grant agree so straightforwardly, even with Snow Maiden's cold temperament, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
A flash of disbelief flickered in her ice-blue eyes, and she instinctively reconfirmed:
"You... you really agree?"
Aster Grant nodded.
"Of course! I always keep my word."
"However..."
He hesitated slightly, as if weighing his next words.
This subtle pause instantly set Lilith and Snow Maiden's hearts on edge, fearing he might propose some difficult terms.
"However, to help you improve your talent, we must first find materials."
"Therefore, I can't promise to assist you immediately."
Upon hearing Aster Grant's words, Lilith and Snow Maiden's hearts were finally at ease, exhaling a breath of relief.
They proposed this condition not to force Aster Grant to fulfill it immediately.
More to gain a clear commitment.
They trusted Aster Grant's character, believing that once he promised something, he would never break it.
