Chapter 518
The person who stepped through the open door was not alone. Nathan Zuckerman, who had skipped today's party, quietly followed behind Kishiar.
"As soon as I received the news, I came. Has anything out of the ordinary happened in the meantime?"
"No."
Kanna responded with a tense face.
"You've done a lot. I'll leave you in charge of leading the remaining members back to headquarters."
"Understood. Then I'll take my leave. Also, I'll give this back to you."
Bowing her head slightly, Kanna glanced at Yuder. Her gaze was filled with complex, indescribable emotions.
" Yuder. See you later."
Yuder was deeply curious about what information Kanna had gleaned from him, but now didn't seem like the time to inquire.
'I guess she's not avoiding me like before I should talk to her properly when I get back.'
After Kanna left, Nathan Zuckerman closed the door behind him to ward off any potential visitors who might come to the lounge.
Finally alone, Kishiar dropped the smile he had been wearing. Approaching him was a man exuding a mix of various smells, from alcohol to food, suggesting he had been constantly on the move.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine. I apologize for causing you concern."
"Looks like you really have woken up." Diiscover new stories at nove/lbin(.)c/om
Kishiar let out a soft sigh. Sitting across from him, he asked Yuder what he remembered up to this point. Yuder detailed the events that occurred when he met Kiolle, and what happened immediately afterwards.
"So you remember my coming and going, but not the specifics of our conversations?"
"Yes."
"Any idea why you got suddenly intoxicated?"
"I felt intoxicated after receiving treatment for the wound on my hand. I suspect something related happened in that interval. Did you find out anything related to this?"
"Yes. The object that wounded your hand belonged to a knight from the Diarca Family who had served the Emperor five generations ago when he was a Crown Prince. It was made from the fang of a monster called the Red-winged Drakandia."
Kishiar spoke smoothly, without hesitation. While listening to him, Yuder felt astonished.
'I didn't know such a minor detail...'
He had known that the material symbolizing the red color of the Crown Prince's escort knights was made from monster byproducts, but he had never anticipated that this detail could lead to his current situation.
Normally, even if he had a 'weakness,' such a minor wound wouldn't have affected him much. In fact, thinking back on his past life, wounds inflicted by monsters healed more slowly and resisted magic and medicinal treatment, but they ultimately healed, and he never found them particularly inconvenient.
'Could the problem have been that I was injured while I had consumed Quelochet?'
In retrospect, the small scratch seemed to bleed continuously, refusing to clot.
"I don't think Kiolle Da Diarca did this intentionally. But don't take this matter lightly either."
"What do you mean?"
At Kishiar's words, heavy with implications, Yuder looked up. Kishiar's face tightened, his expression a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
That was something Yuder hadn't considered. His confused blinking was met with a faint smile from Kishiar.
"I'm telling you because it's unfair for me to remember something you said while you don't. But judging by your expression, I don't need to ask further."
"Did I say anything else?"
"Most of what you said was endearing."
Even though he had little memory of it, Yuder felt that must be a joke.
Kishiar didn't let go of Yuder's hand, even after putting on both gloves. He leaned forward and tenderly kissed Yuder's nape. The overwhelming sensation instantly scattered Yuder's lingering questions like fog. Yuder tightened his grip on their entwined hands and pulled Kishiar toward him.
The moment their eyes met, nothing else was needed. Kishiar's lips met Yuder's in a kiss that conveyed more emotion than a hundred words could. They both felt a renewed understanding of how bodily warmth could express far more than spoken language.
"Did you get a message that Her Majesty the Empress wishes to see me?"
Yuder broke the long kiss and spoke softly.
"No."
"I told her I would come."
"Then it seems I will set foot in the Dawn Palace after a long time."
Kishiar declared his intent to accompany Yuder as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
