Chapter 500

Duke Diarca, Kiolle's father, was a nobleman to his very core. It was easy to imagine how Yuder Aile, who brazenly broke all established rules while standing at the center of this chaotic scene, would appear in his eyes.

Duke Diarca was generous to capable subordinates who knew their place, but he was not merciful enough to extend that courtesy to those who opposed him.

Ordinarily, whether the audacious man engaging in shameless acts with Duke Peletta lived or died by his father's hand would have nothing to do with Kiolle. He might have even applauded from the sidelines.

But for Kiolle at this moment... he was bound like a chain by an oath.

'Surely hes not causing all this trouble just to later ask for my help? If the exchange of information was just bait, and he lured me here today for that...!'

Even if he had witnessed a scene so revolting, shocking, and baffling, Kiolle was also in danger if he sensed Yuder's peril and didnt assist. It was madness.

Suddenly, a low voice reached Kiolle's ears, as he was trembling with clenched fists.

"Was his name Yuder Aile?"

For a moment, Kiolle thought his thoughts had been read and lifted his head. The one who had spoken was Crown Prince Katchian, who sat alone on a high chair at the top of the stairs. The nobles who had surrounded him had, at some point, dispersed.

Calming his racing heart, Kiolle managed to find his composure and opened his mouth.

"I apologize. I didn't hear you properly. What did you say?"

"That man over there, dancing with Duke Peletta. His name is Yuder Aile, is it not?"

Though it could have been a rhetorical question, a reply came back. However, the Crown Princes eyes were not focused on Kiolle but were fixed at the center of the dancing crowd.

"Yes, I've heard as much."

Adding 'I've heard as much' was Kiolles desperate attempt to avoid any possible association with Yuder Aile. Naturally, the Crown Prince paid no attention to this petty resistance and continued speaking. Diiscover new stories at nove/lbin(.)c/om

"I have seen that man before."

"Pardon?"

"It was during the Harvest Festival. I had personally asked the Duke to investigate him for displaying remarkable abilities, but heard nothing significant. I had forgotten about him until now, but seeing him today brings it all back. At first, I thought he looked different, but yes... it is undoubtedly him. Definitely..."

That the Crown Prince had seen Yuder Aile before and had even shown interest was news to Kiolle. But what did it matter now? Kiolle couldnt fathom why the usually indifferent Crown Prince was bringing this up and felt exceedingly uneasy.

Finally, Katchian turned his head toward Kiolle, who had been shifting his eyes nervously without either calling out to the Crown Prince or responding.

"Do you know anything about that man?"

"You mean, about him?"

Unknowingly, Kiolle's voice came out edged. While he feared he had displayed his discomfort too obviously, to Kiolle's relief, his tone seemed only to imply a noble's incredulity at the suggestion of knowing a commoner.

Crown Prince Katchian curled his lips in a faint smile and added further explanation.

"The Imperial Knights and the Cavalry share the same grounds, don't they? I seem to remember hearing that you were rather furious for a while about being insulted by a commoner from the Cavalry when you were in the Imperial Knights... Given that man's abilities, you may have heard some rumors as you came and went."

And so, the web of intrigue thickened.

"I see. Understood. I'll go now."

With a face that seemed to say he knew why he was being summoned, Kishiar obediently responded. He turned his head and gave Yuder a smile.

"Hmm... so far, everything has gone as expected. I'll go and appease His Majesties for a bit; you can handle the rest."

"Leave it to me."

"Good."

Kishiar, who seemed like he was about to say more, nodded and turned away. Yuder sensed that the unspoken words were a caution to 'be careful.'

As soon as Kishiar disappeared, countless gazes converged on Yuder, who was now left alone. The glares were so intense they felt like they would tear him apart and leave not a trace behind if looks could have teeth and claws.

"Sir Yuder Aile. Or should I now call you Baron? Do you know who I am?"

Among them, a man with a seemingly painted smile and an imposing demeanor approached Yuder. Yuder glanced briefly at Duke Diarca sitting behind the man before shaking his head.

"No."
