968 Who Goes Our Way, Part 8 ~ Secret Book ③ ~

"I miss you again with Dryan. Is he still strong?

"Yeah, to the point of being too grand"

"Because beasts have a life expectancy considerably longer than humans, they're only 40 years old in humans. I wonder where that is. I was still a young man with a blue odor when I was there, but I guess I got a lot tougher."

"Right, enough piercing. Because we were close?

Lapenty laughed with pleasure and gave it back.

"Well, did you spend six months or a year there traveling together? I was a comrade with him who kept his back and fought. Of all the people I fought with, I was reliable. More surprising than that is his upliftment. It wasn't just about the battle, it was about knowledge, it was about culture. I was learning a lot in my journey. Sometimes he didn't come out caged all day in a library in a big city. Sometimes they didn't come out of the glass craftsman's workshop for a few days."

"Sounds like him. It's still the same thing."

"Then I guess you've become a good king. You can snort that the South is safe."

"Right."

Kazas cut the story short and cut the key story.

"So, here's a word for you. I don't know what that means, but if I tell you, I'll know."

"Hmm? What did I say, Dreyan?"

"'Whenever, under the starry sky. Remember the promise? Though we would like to fulfill each other's fate'. Do you have any idea?"

Lapenty's expression did not move on Kazas' words. Marduk glimpsed Lapenty and Ursula was silently writing the paperwork. After a while, Lapenty replied slowly.

"- Well, I've been through a lot of nights. I feel like we've talked a lot and made a lot of promises... but after a few decades, there's no such thing as a promise that needs to be fulfilled. Be busy this year."

"Really? Well, you didn't tell me to get back to you, so as far as I'm concerned, I was told, so I did my job. Now, excuse me for this. We keep people waiting after this."

"Oh, good luck with the message. Ursula, send him outside the Deep Green Palace."

"No, fine. Don't bother your hands."

When Kazas said no briefly, he followed the scene with Nia. Nia tried to ask Kazas something with the face she said she couldn't figure it out, but didn't because Kazas wouldn't try to look at her. At times like this, Nia knows that Kazas doesn't want you to hear anything.

As you can imagine, Kazas left the Deep Green Palace for a while before inadvertently starting to talk.

"... I see, Dryan was right. Interesting inside."

"What? It was refreshing to me."

"It's Arnelia's reaction. I'm certainly not informed of the contents of that seal or the meaning of the message to Lapenti, but I'm told to see each reaction and let Dryan know."

"Why did King Dryan entrust that to Kazas?

"Because Dryan is distrustful of Arnelia."

Kazas said away with a sharp eye. Kazas originally had no fondness for Arnelianism, but I felt that the reason was clear in his conversation with Dryan. Arnelia has faces that do not move according to its ideas and doctrines. Otherwise, he is a traitor.

Of course, no matter how unified the population is, it makes more difference than it is a group of individuals, but Dreyan was staring at the fact that a group with a completely different intent was inside Arnelia. Otherwise, Dryan has told Kazas that the inexplicability of the southern front cannot be solved.

"Said Dryan. On the southern front, two beast generals were killed, but the way they did it smelled very human. Dreyan suspected that he didn't seem like a black magician or, well, a demon king.

First of all. When I saw the contents of the seal, I told him that if he was vowing allegiance to Arnelia, he would report it to the Supreme Bishop. The same goes for what I gave Miranda earlier, and for what I gave Lapenti.

Plus I said this. 'There's no way Lapenty can forget her promise. If it's a blur, it's because there's a dark spot behind it. "

"So you think he's a traitor?

"Come on? It'll be too early to break off like that, but maybe we shouldn't show too many gaps"

When Kazas told him so, he went to Alphilis.
