Lady Liberia looked at Lirian with unveiled shock, as she repeatedly looked at her empty hands and back to Lirian's hands, which currently held her two fans.

Those fans were powerful weapons passed down through her family for generations, but due to the weapons being fans, rarely anyone had ever made much use of them.

She was the first in five generations who had been able to use them properly, she had been bestowed the weapon long before she became the family leader, it was a sign of confidence from her previous family leader.

The fans were proof of the previous family leader's confidence in her.

Yet currently those weapons were being held in the hands of a complete stranger, Lady Liberia scanned Lirian looking for anything that could help her identify who he was and where he came from.

But after a while she felt disappointed, she noticed that his clothes were worn out and old, there was no noble who would dress so poorly.

But strangely when she looked at his face she saw the gold earring dangling from a thin chord of gold, with just a brief look she was able to tell the workmanship put into its creation was incredible.

Lastly, as she looked at Lirian his eyes were closed, yet for some reason, she could feel his gaze locked tightly onto her body, but she had no idea what the silver-haired intruder was thinking, all she felt was a sense of amusement in his gaze as if she was an insignificant bug in his eyes and her actions were nothing more than a play to him.

The feeling of being underestimated drove her mad with anger, and as she continued to stare at the man he casually played around with the fans, flaunting them at her.

Being underestimated was enough to drive her mad, but to have the possessions of her family flaunted in front of her almost made her lose all her reason.

Just as she was about to make a move, she saw Lord Grant rush in to attack, but in the next second she watched in disbelief as Lirian casually flicked the fans open, and with a casual wave of the fan a horrifying amount of air rush out.

Grant didn't even know what hit him as he was flung through the air and went sprawling across the floor.

Lady Liberia quickly shelved her hasty thoughts of attacking and looked at Lirian intently, "Who are you?" she asked.

"Oh, you're not going to fight?" Lirian asked in disappointment, he didn't care much to answer her question.

"You cultivate your body and your mana," she continued not deigning to answer Lirian either, from their first exchange she was able to tell that his strength was monstrous, it was far greater than her own, and after he attacked Grant she understood that he was using wind magic, yet she didn't even see him draw a ruin.

It was enough to send ripples of shock through her mind and give her a slight idea about the type of monster she was facing.

"Which great family do you hail from?" she asked with certainty of her guess, she knew that only the great families had the resources accessible to cultivate multiple centres of power.

And anyone who cultivated multiple centres of power was undoubtedly an important figure, or at least a descendent of an important figure, the only problem was she couldn't place where Lirian came from.

He didn't have any facial features that indicated where he possibly came from, and his hair was a colour that she had never even heard of, not even orc nobles had such pure silver hair.

She felt like his hair ought to be his most disfiguring feature, yet she had never so much as heard a word about any noble with such a unique feature, and most of all, was Lirian's face, his looks were completely foreign yet they were incredibly divine.

His fair and smooth skin was the kind that every woman desired to have, and his beauty was one she could hardly even fathom, in not for the seriousness of the situation she felt like he was the type of man she'd ask to escort her into court, or who she would try to court to have some fun.

Lirian sighed at her questions internally, these idiots all kept assuming that he was from one of the big families in the world, 'At least it proves that there are people who have cultivated multiple centres of power, hopefully, some of them didn't give up,' Lirian thought hopefully.

Lirian flipped the fans through his finger with nimble movements, after he absorbed the snake god's essence he felt like his bones had gained greater flexibility to them, and he was currently testing it out.

'This is going to be amazing for my sleight of hand,' Lirian thought with glee as he confirmed the increased flexibility of his body, with a quick movement the fans shut themselves, and vanished from sight.

Lady Liberia had been watching Lirian's actions closely, but she had absolutely no clue where the fans disappeared to, it was like one second they were there and in the next, they were completely gone.

Her heart felt like it was in shambles when the treasures of her family vanished from sight, she wanted to ask for him to return them, but she doubted that he'd return them.

Feeling Lady Liberia's heated gaze, Lirian lightly chuckled, "I'll be borrowing these two little toys of yours, you don't mind do you?" Lirian asked with a mocking smile and flashed the two fans in front of her once more.

Lady Liberia's gaze went cold as she looked at the fans in Lirian's hand, she wanted to object but she doubted that her possession would be returned, "No, not at all," she gritted out through clenched teeth, her eyes were seething with anger.

"Good," Lirian said with a pleasant smile that almost managed to wash away all of Lady Liberia's anger, "Now to answer your questions, who I am? And where I come from?"

"You don't need to worry about that, it doesn't concern you, and most importantly you don't have the qualifications to know?" Lirian said in a voice full of conceit and arrogance.

In Lady Liberia's eye's his attitude was a perfect fit with the members of the great families she had seen, even a minor noble such as herself couldn't get so much as an ounce of respect out of such people.

"However," Lirian said turning around, "Currently I've started playing a little game with those idiots," Lirian said and pointed at the keep in the distance.

"A game?!" Lady Liberia asked in shock as looked at where Lirian was pointing, 'He can't seriously mean House Kurt, can he?' she thought with surprise.

"Yes, just a little game to quell my boredom," Lirian said, "But after our first major round yesterday, they've chosen to turtle up in their keep and shut down all contact with the city," Lirian said as if he was seriously peeved.

But his words were currently sending waves of shock through not only Lady Liberia, but also Lord Grant who was pretending to be unconscious, after Lirian's strike he knew that he had no chance against him, and decided to wait for an opportunity to escape.

The nobles had all been wondering what was going on inside House Kurt due to them closing off the keep without so much as a warning.

They were all filled with questions, about the tremor that made the entire city shake the previous day, but most of all they were wondering what was behind House Kurt's sudden desire to clean up the entire city in the middle of the night.

And now all of a sudden a stranger that none of them had ever heard of seemed to have the answers they were all searching for.
