Chapter 324

Baron Willhem had prepared a sumptuous evening banquet in the spacious hall of his estate, and attendees were expected to include not only the Willhem family but also the day's guest of honor, Duke Peletta, the Cavalry that he had brought with him, and a few other members of the Peletta Knights, as well as several nobles. Most of them were long-standing residents in the west, people from ancient families who had been troubled by monsters appearing in the borderlands for some time.

Originally, the Baron had planned to go along with them, feigning praise for Duke Peletta to lighten the mood. But Willhem's mood was far from comfortable. He looked down at the ceremoniously prepared banquet dishes, recalling the news he had heard from the servants, news that he could hardly put in his mouth. VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

'Duke Peletta called one of the Cavalry members into his room in broad daylight... and it was a man at that.'

Baron Willhem's respectful suggestion had been ignored without even a response, and the Duke had pulled a young man into his arms in front of the servants and spent a long time alone with him. When the servants went in afterward to clean the room, they found the Duke lying on the disheveled bed, his clothes loosened, drunk. From the scattered bottles and wine-stained sheets, it was impossible not to guess what had occurred inside.

According to the servants, the man had been personally led to the annex by the Duke when he first arrived. His name was not yet known, but it was certain that his position was that of an assistant.

'How could such a disgraceful thing happen...? I've heard rumors that he’s lascivious, laying his hands on anyone, but how could he do such a thing with a commoner man here, right upon arrival!'

Baron Willhem speculated that this so-called assistant was likely nothing more than a catamite placed in his position to please Kishiar's eye. While there were nobles who were attracted to men, there was no precedent for someone doing it so blatantly. How could an imperial family member, with the blood of God, do such a thing? The mere thought made his stomach turn.

"My Lord, Duke Peletta and the Cavalry, along with the Peletta Knights, will be arriving soon. Please prepare yourself."

Baron Willhem forced his face to relax upon hearing the servant's whisper that Duke Peletta and the Cavalry were coming. In reality, the banquet should have started by now, but everyone had been waiting awkwardly due to their unexplained delay. The Baroness, dressed in her finest gown to receive the guests, was full of dissatisfaction and anger about the situation.

"My love, it is the first day, and we must show our gratitude, but you don't intend to let them stay in the annex the whole time, do you? For the sake of our children, we must not."

Between the Baron and Baroness Willhem, there were two daughters. The Baron, worried that the notorious rake Duke Peletta might inappropriately touch his daughters, had strongly warned them to be cautious. However, now that he knew the Duke's licentiousness was even worse than anticipated, he had no idea what to do.

He would have liked to ask Duke Peletta to leave as soon as possible, but the eye of Duke Tain and the opinions of those around him were against him. After all, the Cavalry were currently heroes, defending the west on behalf of the Tain family.

"...Duke Tain has asked us to keep a close eye on Duke Peletta and the Cavalry, and to plot accordingly, so there's no choice in the matter. Ensure that the children never approach the annex, and you too, be careful."

"But..."

"Others are watching. Be mindful of your words."

The Baroness, who was about to vent her dissatisfaction, caught sight of the other nobles watching them with curious eyes, and closed her mouth. At that moment, a voice rang out announcing the arrival of the Duke of Peletta and the Cavalry.

All the nobles rose from their seats and behaved with decorum. Many people had entered, but there was no need to ask who among them was the Duke of Peletta Kishiar La Orr; it was unmistakably clear. Watching the faces of the other nobles go blank at the sight of him, Baron Wilhelm momentarily forgot even the shameful behavior of a short while ago, thinking them all fools.

"Ah. I almost forgot to tell you, that's this man right here."

Baron Willhem, who had opened his mouth to defuse the situation, doubted his ears for a moment.

Everyone's eyes turned incredulously toward the black-haired man. The man said nothing. Instead, Kishiar once again broke the silence with a cheerful opening.

"Allow me to introduce him. My assistant, whom I adore and cherish, a promising talent in the Cavalry, who single-handedly defeated a gigantic monster, the bright future of the Cavalry - Yuder Aile."

'What?'

That black-haired man, who was he?

Baron Willhem felt a dizzying sensation from the consecutive shocks. He wanted to say something, but his parched mouth seemed to be clogged with sand, and no sound came out. Other nobles quickly asked questions on his behalf.

"Oh, Aile... So you have already been bestowed a last name from His Majesty the Emperor?"

"No. The last name was received not long after the Cavalry was formed. When I return this time, he'll probably get a bigger reward."

"Ah, that... I see. You must be very pleased to have such an outstanding subordinate."

"Pleased or not, I have quite a few people I favor."
