Chapter 587

"Repeat it. Tell me again, this time in exact detail, about what you saw that day."

Kiolle had insisted that the information he'd gathered painstakingly over time, observing the healers, was far more important. However, his claims fell on deaf ears in the face of Yuder's judgement, who deemed other information more valuable.

Frustrated, Kiolle had no choice but to recount the events of the day Yuder was interested in.

"A while ago, right after that incident at the Sun Palace, I heard that they would be coming to our house. My father didnt tell me about it, so I only found out through rumors. Not that it matters; it wasn't anything I needed to know. Still, I had to keep an eye on them, didn't I? So, I decided to take charge and bring them myself."

Given that they were staying at the Crown Prince's palace, and Kiolle was working there as well, guiding them was simple enough.

Kiolle escorted a middle-aged man, who was the leader of the healers, along with one nervous young apprentice, to the Diarca estate. Even among the crowded mansions in the Third Wall District, the Diarca residence was renowned for its elegance. The young healer seemed to shrink in its presence, his shoulders hunched and his spirit subdued.

But the middle-aged leader was a different story. He walked with head held high, following Kiolle. His demeanor remained unchanged, even in front of Duke Diarca, as if harboring some secret scheme.

He greeted the Duke and his attending nobles with a respectful yet unobsequious attitude.

"Hello, my name is Ajihen Toom."

Ah, yes, that was his name. Kiolle vaguely remembered that the man had introduced himself with that name before the Crown Prince some time ago.

"Ajihen Toom? Doesn't that mean 'wise one' in ancient language? Not your real name then. How pretentious to call yourself wise."

A noble beside the Duke sneered. Behind their fans, cold laughter emanated as they looked down upon the healers. The young healer appeared to be so frightened that he was almost prostrating himself.

"Indeed, its not my birth name. But if a name is never called or bears no significance, can it truly be considered mine?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"I have no family. But I do have comrades who are like family to me. Therefore, the name they call me is my name. You summoned me here to see me as I am with my comrades; hence my name is indeed Ajihen Toom."

"Smooth talker, aren't you?"

Duke Diarca, sitting in the highest seat, murmured with narrowed eyes.

"Fine, call yourself whatever you wish. What matters is the explanation for your recent actions. If you want to be called wise, then so be it."

"Thank you."

"But your words alone wont convince me. Show me this wisdom youre so proud of."

No matter his age, Duke Diarca remained formidable. His natural malice, his oppressive aura, and his cold gaze that reduced everyone to mere objects had an instant, crushing effect on all.

Even the audacious middle-aged man who'd asked to be called wise wasnt entirely immune. Kiolle, standing at a safe distance behind the healers, noticed beads of sweat forming on the back of the mans neck, despite his seemingly serene face.

The moment he said that, the man started to feel even more like a joke and a scammer.

Of course. In this world, there could be no other madman who wouldn't be scared when facing his father except for Yuder Aile. That man was a calamity all by himself. Even if those healers were true Awakeners, they couldn't be more impressive than someone who single-handedly spewed flames reaching the sky and decapitated a monster the size of a house.

"Understood. However, before I proceed with my story, I would like you to first pay attention to the colleague I have brought with me." Checkk new novel chapters at novelbin(.)com

As the sage extended his hand, the young man hunched behind him flinched and raised his head. He was a young man with a complexion resembling the southern people, his skin a deep red, and a distinct scar tearing through one of his ears.

"His name is Diemon. For you to fully believe what I am about to tell you, his assistance is absolutely necessary."

"So, he's going to perform some tricks?"

Another noble jeered lightly. The sage remained unflappable. Duke Diarca waved his hand in annoyance, granting permission.

"Fine. Kiolle, you may leave."

Duke Diarca decided not to let Kiolle hear the conversation he was about to have with the healers. Yet Kiolle didnt seem to mind as he retreated immediately, heading to his room.

He heard the healers spoke for several hours in front of his father and the other nobles. Surprisingly, they returned to the palace without being thrown out.

"I dont know what they discussed that day. During dinner, the only thing my father asked me was about the likelihood of me becoming a Swordmaster if I diligently practiced swordsmanship, and how competent Theorado, the current Commander of the Imperial Knights, was. But it's true that my father has since been curious about those men."

Was this speculation too far-fetched? Yuder had a feeling it probably wasn't.

Oblivious, Kiolle kept grumbling at him for more information. Yuder looked at Kiolle's face and spoke.

"Kiolle."

"When the hell are you going to stop calling me like that?"

"Keep an eye on your father from now on."

"What are you talking about?! Are you telling me to be hostile towards my dad?"

Caught off guard, Kiolle became furious. Yuder ignored his reaction and continued speaking.

"From what we've found out, the individual who calls himself a sage specializes in mind manipulation, most likely psychic abilities."

"Mind control? Psychic abilities? Are you saying that guy is manipulating my father?"

"We can't be sure yet. We don't fully understand how he uses his abilities, and given that he's met with Duke Diarca, anything could happen in the future. Just keep an eye on whether Duke Diarca starts behaving differently."

"What, what, what?"

"And you should also be cautious from now on. Don't get too close to them and avoid extended conversations. If I notice even the slightest change in you the next time we meet, I'll put you to sleep for the rest of your life. Just so you know."

"What...?"

This was not just information sharing; it was practically a bombardment. Yuder walked past Kiolle, who stood with wide eyes and an open mouth. Just as Yuder was almost out of the training ground, Kiolle seemed to snap back to reality and shouted after him.

"What the hell are you talking about?! Come back and explain! Are you ignoring me? If you take one more step, you won't get away with it...!"

'I'll have a lot to report when I get back,' Yuder thought.
