The dinner went great.
Kant and Baron Dylan exchanged a few more words before parting with each other in the dead of night.
The maid led them to the rooms that had been arranged beforehand in the official residence. Manid, the five Sarrandian Horsemen, and the desert bandits who did not attend the dinner were also placed in rooms that were close to Kant's room. They were given rather good treatment.
However, the torches in the Lord's Hall were still burning, causing the entire space to be filled with the choking smell of smoke.
Baron Dylan sat quietly on his chair.
Excitement gleamed in his eyes.
Two burly figures pushed the main entrance's door of the hall open and entered. As the light shone on them, it was clear that they were the two of the vassal knights from before. They were also Baron Dylan's right-hand men.
"Lord Dylan." The two of them came over and bowed respectfully.
"Yes," Baron Dylan nodded.
