Chapter 420
"...Yes?"
The face of Lord Moet, who had just regained his composure at Kishiar's agreement, was filled with doubt.
"What is that... you speak of?"
"Sorry, but the person with me is merely my assistant, and also has the honorable title of Yuder Aile, bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor. I do not know anyone called 'Yude Al,' so it seems I'll be unable to comply with your request. I think I need to rest again."
Kishiar softly repeated his response and then closed the door once more. In the ensuing silence, Lord Moet stood dumbfounded, only regaining his senses a moment later, deep in thought.
It's not as if remembering the name and title of a commoner is that important, but if it's something bestowed by the Emperor, the situation changes slightly.
Even though no one doubts that the occupant of the throne will change within a few years, as of now, Emperor Keilusa still sat on the throne, and the one inside that room was the Emperor's only blood brother and a Duke.
If such a person were to take a minor mistake as an intentional insult to the Emperor, it would be greatly troublesome.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! I misspoke because I was unaware of the situation. What I meant to say was that I wish for your assistant Yu...der Aile to step forward and handle this matter. If there has been a misunderstanding...!"
"Hmm. You mean my assistant Yuder Aile, right?"
The door cracked open again, revealing red eyes. Lord Moet quickly nodded.
"Yes."
"But it's still confusing. Even if you were unaware of the situation, how could you forget the name of the person you wished to ask a favor of?"
Wasn't it ridiculous for Duke Peletta, who was neither wise nor well-behaved and whose tutors changed monthly during his princehood, to say such a thing? Deeply aggrieved and angry, Lord Moet bowed his head to hide his expression.
"That is not... a memory issue, but rather because I have not been feeling well lately, and sometimes my hearing becomes muffled..."
"Is that so? I thought you were not old enough to experience deafness and senility, but it seems you've aged quite a bit. There's no stopping the passage of time, I understand. Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Kishiar opened his eyes wide and shamelessly responded. His choice of words was truly delicate. Lord Moet's bearded chin quivered with indignation several times before he could stop it.
"Yes... It was merely a hearing mistake. Please know that I did not dare distort His Majesty's will or intend to insult. Now... will you accept our request?"
"I wonder..."
Duke Peletta, smiling, opened the door even wider and stepped out completely.
"Is it really necessary for my assistant to go out just to check the situation outside?"
"Yes?..."
"That's something I can do myself. I'll be right back."
Kishiar closed the door and moved forward, his reply even lighter and more carefree than if he were going out for a night drink. Watching the duke pass by them, barefoot and dressed in disheveled formal wear, the nobles all wore expressions as if they were about to faint.
"Yo, Your Grace! You can't go like that!"
Kishiar turned around with a bright smile in his eyes. Seeing the blood splatter on the young boy's pale cheek behind the Duke, the nobles were paralyzed with terror, unable to utter a word.
...
“Yuder! We've found most of the distinguished guests who attended the auction. Let's check Kanna's side and head back.”
“Understood.”
Yuder stopped the power of the earth and leaped down from the tree he had continued to climb, preparing for any contingency. He moved along with Ever. She had just completed her mission of understanding the situation in the auction house and commanding the members, having defeated Ershi as she had confidently assured, and coming here right after.
Yuder silently examined Ever's face, which, though filled with cuts that seemed to have been made by a thin blade on every exposed piece of skin, did not lose its smile.
"Hmm? Don't worry about this. It's nothing. Ershi is in worse shape than me."
Ever, seeming to notice where Yuder's gaze had fallen, casually lifted her hand and wiped away the bloodstains.
Some of the guests, who had thought the situation that seemed like a sudden earthquake was actually caused by the Cavalry, were still screaming and resisting, but the Cavalry members didn't pay them any more attention than they would to barking dogs, as they took them away and loaded them into carriages.
"Did you hear that Kanna handled her part well?"
"I heard so. They've captured all of Star of Nagran members there, but it's a bit of a shame that they didn't catch all the southern merchants who were in the warehouse."
While Yuder was continuously raising the power of the earth by himself, blocking the exit, the members had captured those designated according to their roles. The strategy of exploiting the confusion of those who thought a natural disaster had occurred went as planned, but the problem was that the southern merchants who had been in the warehouse had escaped using a secret third exit that was inside.
With information from Pruelle and Robel, they thought there were no other escape routes there, but the inside of the warehouse, which was said to have been inaccessible to anyone other than the southerners, acted as an unexpected variable.
The southerner who had fought with Yuder, as well as several other southerners who had been seen with him in the inn, had hidden themselves through the secret passage. All they took with them was a sack filled with substituted Calanesa powder.
"You fools! Do you know who I am? Let go!"
At that moment, Yuder heard the sound of another noble struggling near him. Turning his head, he recognized the man and stopped in his tracks.
"Yuder?"
