Chapter 125

A tremor flitted across the corner of Revlin's eyes, but the boy quickly let out a single sigh, clenched his fists tightly, and began to speak.

"I believe that help provided out of pity is only temporary. However, if the help you're providing is in exchange for useful information I've provided, that would undoubtedly be far superior. And also..."

Revlin's voice trailed off, and he paused to gather his thoughts before continuing.

"I've heard that you, Duke, personally select and greatly cherish your Cavalry members. Yet, my brother and uncle still desire to have those Cavalry members in their grasp so they can captivate them and use them for experiments... if I were crying while providing such information, how much would you be able to trust me?"

"Certainly, there's truth to that."

Kishiar agreed coolly.

"I do not want my observations and judgments to be doubted just because I am young and frail."

Even if it seemed futile, he believed it was the best course of action to save his loved ones. Upon seeing Revlin's desperate and earnest gaze, Yuder had a strange sense of déjà vu.

It felt like he had once faced such a gaze a long time ago, in a past so distant he couldn't recall. But who could possibly aim such a gaze at him?

It was absurd. The fleeting déjà vu faded away soon.

"Very well. Let's confirm one last thing. Would you really do anything to save your loved ones?"

To Kishiar's question, Revlin responded firmly.

"Yes."

"Even if it means confronting your terrifying brother, or your uncle or father directly?"

"If necessary... I will. Although, I doubt I would be much help."

A sense of gravity draped over the boy's pale face.

"I hope you stick to your word, your resolve. That's the only way we can proceed with our plan."

With that, Kishiar's words signaled the formal completion of their agreement. The tension released from Revlin all at once, and he gasped for air momentarily, swaying before he steadied himself against a wall.

"Thank you. Once everything is over, I promise to repay this favor, no matter what happens."

"How about focusing on what's coming up next, rather than promising for an uncertain future?"

"Pardon?"

Revlin, who had been bowing his head in confusion, looked up with wide eyes. Kishiar gave him a gentle smile.

"Surely the Apeto family's children won't just attend today's grand worship and then do nothing for the rest of the festival. What event do you plan on attending next?"

Unaware of how his position had changed within the unit, Yuder opened the door to Kishiar's office. A warm and fragrant scent wafted from the sunlit window.

While other nobles would still be asleep at this time, Kishiar was already reading a letter, perfectly dressed in his Commander's uniform, a steaming cup of tea by his side.

"Is that a letter from Revlin Shand Apeto?"

"Yes. It seems he wrote down the points we requested overnight and sent them. Quite swift."

Kishiar lightly showed the seal stamped on the back of the letter. It matched exactly the pattern on the ring that Revlin had shown as proof of his identity the previous night.

Before leaving the Apeto house last night, Kishiar had requested several pieces of information from Revlin. This included the layout of the Apeto mansion, matters related to Dandenion who they had to rescue, and lastly, personal information about his uncle, Elder Priest Beltrail Shand Apeto.

Considering how quickly Revlin had compiled all the information overnight, one could feel how desperately he had been moving.

"So, have you finished reassigning the event participation personnel?"

"Yes."

As Kishiar flipped through the letter, Yuder quietly opened his mouth.

"Including me, there will be two from Shin, two Sul, and one Jung, a total of five people participating as security officers at the Sharing of the Sacred Flame ceremony tomorrow."

"Any who protested or seemed suspicious about the changes?"

"None."

"Well done."

Kishiar lightly responded and began to read the last page of the letter. Yuder hesitated for a moment while watching him and then opened his mouth.

"Can you now tell me what kind of play we'll be putting on tomorrow?"

Last night, Kishiar did not give a detailed explanation about the play he intended to put on. He only said he would tell him once he had reassigned the event personnel and received contact from Revlin.

But now, all those tasks were completed. It was time to hear the answer.

Yuder quietly stood waiting for quite a while until Kishiar finished reading the entire letter, folded it in half, and looked up at him.

"Let's have a cup of tea together and talk. Sit over there."

Although Yuder pointed out that there was no need to drink tea if the purpose was just to talk, it was futile. Moments later, he had to endure feeling slightly like he was sitting on pins and needles as he watched Kishiar pouring tea with a pleased expression.

"There's no need for such a burdensome expression, it's just a play, literally. Revlin, you, and I will just have to speak our lines and move according to the script."

After setting down a cup of tea in front of Yuder, Kishiar also placed a plate with as many as five pieces of cream cake.
