Chapter 89: "An Ally, but also a Rival"

"Ah, apologies, Lycus, but… I feel safer if Sigmund is around me," Ivory said, and a wide grin appeared in Sigmund's lips.

"Alright, if that's what you wish, Lady Ivory," Lycus responded. "While you rest, and while we wait for the feast, I will look around the beach and find a good spot for your training."

Lycus put his things inside his hut and proceeded to the shore, while Sigmund and Ivory went inside their hut.

"Finally, he's gone," Sigmund said and sat on the bed, as he watched Ivory put their bags on the side. 

Ivory then headed to sit beside him, "You should get along with him. He's my relative, you know."

"I am trying."

"Seems like you aren't trying," she sighed. "What's wrong with Lycus that you do not trust him?"
