Sherlock didn't return after coming out of the bedroom. Nicholas had arranged another new room for him, so Sherlock went to look for him.
Nicholas didn't expect Sherlock to come out so soon. It wouldn't be that easy for Sherlock to solve the problem with Lilo.
Lord Sherlock was indeed a resourceful Devil.
Sherlock was nonchalant about Nicholas' admiration for him. He asked Nicholas about the Northern Dukedom's involvement in the Merchant Alliance's Ball.
"There weren't many representatives from the Northern Dukedom. Besides the killed Sludge Monster, there were only ordinary staff members. I checked, there was no high-ranking official."
Nicholas was puzzled about why Sherlock was interested in the Northern Dukedom's involvement in the Ball. Regardless, he told Sherlock whatever he knew to Sherlock.
