Lumen spied on them through the crumpled newspaper. Or, more accurately, the back of Cadel's head as he sat with Mamil, who was seated in the front.

“Lytos! I never thought I'd see Lytos' lineage in a place like this!”

“Haha, Mr. Mamil……. Are you advertising? I'm a fugitive in that Empire.”

“Damn, Jenga Lytos……. His descendant…….”

No matter how much he cautioned, Mamil muttered the name of ‘Lytos’ as if he had lost his soul. He suddenly asked for his name, so Cadel answered without much thought, and in the end, it was like this. If anyone asked him if Mamil was having a bad heart like Viscount Stra, I don't think that's the case again. There was a strange longing in Mamil's expression when she mentioned 'Jenga Lightos'.

‘Who is Jenga Lytos? Given that the protagonist is a descendant, is he his father or grandfather?’

Either one of them would most likely have died. His family would fall, and he would have died from being beheaded or whatever. The protagonist, Cadel Lytos, was a case of successful escape from the chaos.

‘I don't think he has any bad feelings. Maybe it's worth a try.’

The flow was not what he had expected. Lumen accepted Cadel's touch with a nonchalant face that hid his embarrassment.

“This is a dear friend of mine, Mr. Mamil, who is willing to lend a hand in the resurrection of the Lytos family. Although this friend committed great rudeness in the first meeting…… he is also reflecting on himself. Right, Lumen?”
