Chapter 120: Have Any of You Seen A Peacock’s Butt?

Angora finished his first family banquet in months.

Unlike the earlier dispute at the gates, he was no different from invisible at the banquet: he basically wasn't a part of any conversation and would only quietly eat his meal. Still, he shivered for some reason when he had his milk pudding dessert, with the nagging feeling he had forgotten something.

Horan did not pay his youngest son any heed at the banquet either, and instead had a lively chat with Kinley. Although a great duke like him wouldn't curry favor where he's not welcome, it was quite obvious that despite his typical high-and-mighty behavior, the duke valued Kinley who almost became his daughter-in-law and the apprentice of the greatest alchemist on the continent.
