Chapter 510

"Even on a joyous day like this, overindulging in liquor isn't wise. You should take a brief rest in the lounge."

Though they pretended not to watch, the onlookers pricked up their ears at the booming voice of Duke Peletta.

"I'll be sending Enon and Lusan after you soon. If you want to dance some more, do it there. This is an order."

Facing a gaze that seemed teasing yet serious, Yuder let out a soft sigh.

Telling him to dance there likely meant first confirming he was in good health before handling the matters with Kiolle. It was a typical Kishiar la Orr method of dealing with issues: not obstructing your goals but expressing concern all the same.

"Understood."

Yuder obediently nodded and headed towards the exit. As if by coincidence, he stopped to ask Kiolle, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs.

"May I ask you something?"

"What, what?"

Caught off guard, Kiolle stumbled back as if he had discovered a bug under his feet. The ornamental sword at his waist clanged against his kneecap. Grimacing in pain, he clenched his teeth but didn't make a sound.

"Do you know which lounge is currently empty?"

Kiolle was standing right in front of the hallway that led to the lounges. Whipping his head in that direction, he seemed to gasp excessively, as if he had just realized this was a signal from Yuder. To any other onlooker, it would have seemed as if Kiolle was appalled and enraged at being questioned by a commoner. But Yuder clearly saw the fear in his eyes.

'He's making a fuss because he doesn't want to look suspicious.'

"I-it's all empty!"

His voice cracked as if he were grinding his teeth while speaking.

"Then any room will do. Thank you."

Without hesitation, Yuder headed into the first lounge. He felt two piercing gazes on his back. One was undoubtedly from Kiolle, and the other was...

'Katchian La Orr.'

Yuder sat down on a luxurious sofa in a lounge spacious enough for about ten people to comfortably rest. The scrutinizing gaze disappeared, but Katchian's visage, which had been watching him throughout the evening, lingered in his mind.

Usually, Katchian was quite outspoken at formal events. However, considering today's gathering was for belittling the Cavalry along with Duke Diarca, he had been exceptionally quiet.

He wasn't engaging in oily banter with the young nobles as he usually did, nor was he busy with anything else. Instead, he sat alonethe young Crown Prince.

Ever since the turmoil surrounding Quelochet had unfolded and Baron Durmand had fallen, Katchian had been overtly observant of Yuder. That gaze weighed heavily on him.

'His expression didn't seem filled with the wrath that would come from a grudge dating back to the Harvest Festival Could his heightened interest in me be due to my abilities?'

Frankly, he didn't care what Katchian thought. However, considering that the Star of Nagran and the Sage were close to Katchian, that part unnerved him slightly.

'Well, I'll get to ask Kiolle about that soon enough.'

At that moment, someone knocked on the door and entered. It wasn't Kiolle but Enon.

"Where is Priest Lusan?"

"He's in the bathroom; he'll be late."

Enon spat out the words curtly and began to roughly untie the tie that wrapped around his neck. With a grim face, he spoke.

"It seems we can't even have one peaceful day. Just when I thought today might be different, suddenly a solo performance appears..."

"..."

"What's this about developing a resistance after recovering from monster injuries? I don't recall ever saying that."

Yuder calmly explained once more, hearing Enon say the same thing that Kishiar had.

"Half of it was a lie. It's better to say that than to admit I'm unaffected by poisons and drugs other than those from monsters."

"Is that so? That's fortunate."

"Fortunate? What do you mean?"

"Enon, what I want to ask of you is directly related to that."

"What now!"

Enon shouted, but Yuder had no doubt that both he and Lusan would fulfill his request.

"On your way out, could you leave the door ajar and both of you pretend to leave but come back and wait in the adjacent lounge?"

"..."

"If I want to invite someone who doesn't even have the courage to open the door, I think I need to do at least that much. Will you do it for me?"

"...Hey!"

A few moments later, Kiolle Diarca carefully opened the door, which had been left just loose enough for anyone to easily open. His eyes filled with extreme anxiety as he whispered in a stifled voice.

"Are you in here? Huh?"

"If you're going to come in, come in quickly. Just sticking your head in and leaving your body outside looks even stranger."

Upon hearing Yuder's voice, Kiolle took a deep breath, quickly closed the door, and entered the lounge. Only when he realized no one else was in the room did he let out a sigh of relief and rub his chest.

"Do you know how hard it was for me to sneak away from the Crown Prince? And to summon me on a day like this, at a time like this..."

"That's none of my concern."

It was clear from Kiolle's face that he found it unbearable not to curse at Yuder's audacity. However, there was nothing he could do. Yuder gestured toward the sofa opposite him.

"Sit down. There's no point in wasting time."
