NERO hated Ruto Solfrid with all his heart.
He also hated how Neoma relied more on the commander than she did on him.
Having said that, he didn't stop Ruto Solfrid from taking over his "conversation" with Calyx.
It was true that he didn't know much about the Selection anyway.
Neoma is the one leading the upcoming war, so I can't ruin this.
Hence, even if it hurt Nero's pride, he just shut his mouth.
"I suggest you return from where you've come from, Lord Calyx," Ruto Solfrid said formally, addressing Calyx as a 'lord' even though he didn't have to be polite to an enemy. "We're not allowed to discuss the Selection with each other. It's a rule set to avoid sabotaging each other's team."
Calyx smiled, but his eyes showed annoyance.
And, now, Nero was also annoyed since the realization just hit him.
Calyx knows I don't know all the rules about the upcoming war, so he tried to lure out information from me.
