Chapter 519
They left the break room as if nothing had happened. The hall where the party had concluded was long empty, and quiet had settled in. The only thing left in the silent space was the massive head of Pethuamet, placed on a cart to be later transferred to the Sun Palace.
Yuder stared silently at the head, which cast a shadow as if a symbol of something.
Throughout the party, he had seen many who had avoided and feared that head. However, some people bravely approached it, inspecting it closely and even thanking the Cavalry or asking about events that had taken place in the west. A good number among them were either related to houses friendly to the Emperor or those who had directly benefited from the west being their homeland.
These were sights Yuder could not have seen during the Harvest Festival, when many had deliberately ignored the very existence of the Cavalry. It was proof that changes were happening continuously, even in places that were not directly visible to Yuder's eyes.
Although Yuder himself had contributed to killing the monster quicker and differently than in his previous life, he wasnt responsible for the changes that followed. The ones shaking a world that had seemed set in its courses were Emperor Keilusa and Kishiar.
No matter how much people like Duke Diarca tried to suppress the existence of the Cavalry and the changing world, things would not roll along as they did in Yuders previous life.
For that very reason the Emperor must survive, he thought.
"What are you thinking so deeply about? Are you perhaps regretful about leaving that behind?"
"No," Yuder replied, breaking his reverie and turning away. Kishiar, who had casually glanced at the head of Pethuamet, narrowed his eyes, emitting a sound of approval.
"Good. I was feeling quite relieved to leave it behind. It would have been slightly tragic if you were feeling regretful."
Yuder calmly refuted, stating that he, too, felt better about leaving the head behind. Kishiar burst into laughter, prompting Nathan Zuckerman, who was walking ahead, to turn around with a curious expression. Yuder thought his gaze was strangely similar to Kanna's.
Thus ended the grand party held to celebrate the Cavalry.

"Sir Kiolle, what is that you're holding in your hand?"
"It's a symbol of an escort knight for His Highness," Kiolle responded, trying to maintain his composure as he heard the slow-rolling sound of the carriage wheels on the way to the Bright Palace. He had been holding it in his hand out of fear of losing it, surprised that it had been noticed and commented upon. Fôllôw new stories at no/v(e)lb/in(.)com
"Is it broken?"
"The pin fell off by accident earlier. I'm planning to have it repaired on the way back."
"Unfortunate. It seemed fine before you left your position. Did it happen on the way back?"
"Yes."
"There's a superstition among the escort knights that dropping your symbol brings bad luck for a while. Be careful."
"Thank you for your concern."
He had been unaware of the superstition, but hearing it now made everything suddenly feel unfortunate.
'Then again, the whole situation is already unfortunate'
The information he had heard from Yuder Aile today and the tasks he needed to focus on were already headache-inducing. And now, the Crown Prince, who had never shown an ounce of interest in him since he became an escort knight, suddenly struck up a conversation. Had he raised suspicions when he stepped away earlier? Even though Kiolle believed it unlikely, he felt extremely uneasy, as if he were sitting on a bed of thorns.
And as if sensing that discomfort and deliberately prodding at it, the Crown Prince opened his mouth again.
"But, who exactly is it?"
""
"Having seen a new side of you through today's party, I find myself more at ease, hence this frank discussion. I'm beginning to regret having found you difficult to approach until now."
Amidst the abrupt change in atmosphere, as Kiolle's head swirled in confusion, Katchian shifted the topic and made an unexpected proposition.
"Kiolle, would you care to join me tomorrow for a game of strategy while we await the arrival of the healers? It's been a long time since I've had an opponent for such a game."
What in the world was this? Was the situation saved or not?
'In any case, I need to learn more about those scamming healers I guess agreeing would be the right move.'
"Yes, I understand."
Kiolle nodded with a grimaced face. A fine smile appeared on Katchian's enigmatic and fluctuating visage.
"You made a good choice."
