After carefully storing away that half piece of "Gush's Eye," Titus finally lowered his head and solemnly said to the Dwarf Prince: "Zeen, Lord Ed should have explained the details to you, correct?"
Zeen nodded earnestly: "Yes, Lord Titus, we Dwarves will follow you from now on and obey your commands."
Titus shook his head and said: "We are merely allies seeking mutual benefit, not in a subordinate relationship. You Dwarves are not my servants."
The Ancient Gold Dragon gazed at the Dwarf Prince, whose features bore some resemblance to Ed, and sighed softly: "Lord Ed... he was a brave and selfless Dwarf, also my friend. I will do my utmost to fulfill his entrusted mission and protect you all."
Zeen quickly lowered his head, his tone respectful: "Lord Titus, I express my heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the Shield Dwarves."
The Ancient Gold Dragon turned and walked toward the cave entrance: "Follow me. Let's go relocate your clansmen."
"Alright."
