Chapter 509

Yuder's eyes, as vivid as a road wetted by rain, no longer avoided the gaze that met them.

"You know, Yuder, one of my goals since joining the Cavalry was to be acknowledged as your closest friend."

"Is that so?"

The sentiment he'd just felt vanished in an instant, replaced by the notion that it was a truly peculiar aim. Gakane, catching Yuder's expression, probed, "You find it hard to understand, dont you?"

"I was confident in my tenacity, but it still felt like a challenging goal. But hearing what you said just now made me feel even happier than achieving that," Gakane said, his usual shyness and brightness slowly returning to his expression.

Seeing that Gakane looked much better than before, Yuder simply nodded in agreement without saying a word. Gakane also refrained from adding anything more on the subject, and instead turned his head, as if he had noticed something.

"Ah, it seems the Commander has arrived."

Yuders eyes followed immediately. The entrance area had become somewhat noisy, and soon, a tall man stepped inside. Kishiar, whose height made him stand out like a majestic tree amidst a meadow, drew everyone's attention as he re-entered.

Whether they held him in esteem or not, everyone's eyes were on Kishiar, even Katchian La Orr. Yuder was sharply reminded of how Kishiar could commandingly capture the attention of others.

Having always been by his side, seeing him from a distance was a rare experience for Yuder. Watching him quietly, he saw Kishiar turn his head and scan the surroundings after exchanging a few words with the chief steward.

His gaze stopped precisely where Yuder was standing. Upon locking eyes, Kishiar waved his hand in a grand gesture, his demeanor overtly cordial. The few remaining retainers of Duke Diarca, who had yet to leave their seats, muttered amongst themselves, their brows furrowed. However, they were now clearly in the minority.

Their complaints and anger, their insults and slandersall failed to affect the evenings celebration.

Suddenly, Gakane spoke up. "Yuder, you mentioned that today would present an opportunity you've been waiting for."

"That's right," Yuder murmured, without breaking his gaze from Kishiar.

"Now I think I understand what you meant."

Gakane grinned in a way he hadnt in a long time. He patted Yuder's back a couple of times, gently, before heading back to where the other members were.

Yuder began walking toward Kishiar.

"You've arrived."

"Yes. The hall has become quite clean in my absence."

Kishiar greeted Yuder and whispered with a smile

Yuder answered calmly, looking around at the seats, which had emptied by more than half after the departure of Duke Diarca and his followers.

"I did put in some effort in cleaning. Though there's still some dust left, it should be enough for everyone to enjoy."

"I heard that even from where His Majesty is, my assistant is diligently cleaning."

Kishiar's eyes, which had been leisurely until then, changed slightly at that moment.

"I wanted to hurry back and help with the cleaning, but it seems the dust moved faster than I did."

"..."

Was Kishiar implying that Duke Diarcas departure ahead of his return was no coincidence? Yuder recalled that just before Duke Diarca had announced his departure, someone had rushed over to whisper something in his ear.

"Your body temperature is higher than usual. Even so?"

"It would only have an effect similar to being slightly tipsy."

"..."

In the ensuing silence, the fingers that had been slowly running through Yuder's hair finally came to a halt.

"It seems my assistant already knew about that drink."

"...Yes."

"Did you also know that drink would be served today?"

Yuder didn't answer. Although he wasn't entirely certain, it had been within the realm of his expectations. To answer clearly on this point seemed difficult, as it would start to involve details from his past life.

"I thought you seemed more confident than usual."

Kishiar closed his eyes briefly and then opened them again. Moments later, he relaxed his shoulders, reverting back to the same Duke Peletta he had always been.
