Bab 295: Sea dungeon

''My Lord sent us here to find the Duke but we have not been able to pursue his whereabouts. Your Highness, let us go inside and get the flower for you. You should refrain from entering such places.'' 

''You think we want our Highness to enter such detestable places?" Cardan's guards snapped at Aleister's, ''The Nyxenna flower will wither soon after it is plucked.'' 

Luciana could say that there was some bad blood between them. 

Cardan on the other hand, seemed unfazed as if he was used to such sights, ''All of you, stay here and guard the place. You will accompany Luciana later to find the Duke,'' he commanded Aleister's guards.

And unlike how provocative they were towards his guards, they accepted Cardan's commands with their heads lowered. 

''All of you will follow us,'' Cardan looked at his own guards.
