In the inn's room, Su Lun and that royal uncle, Garcia Haydon, were sipping tea one mouthful after another, chatting about topics designed to test each other.
Su Lun had to admit, the man before him was truly capable of great things.
Even here in the capital Eiklensa, his stronghold, where everything seemed under control, the old man was extremely cautious, continuously encouraging him to drink the poisoned tea and yet managed to perform it flawlessly.
But what he didn't know was that Su Lun possessed the All-knowing Eye; even the most clever poisoning strategy seemed futile before it.
It seemed like the other party was waiting for something.
Su Lun wasn't in a hurry either, gathering intelligence while waiting for that lethal opportunity.
Meanwhile, outside the window in a high tower, Isabel, who had kindly come to warn them earlier, was watching the two men in the inn, her face clouded with concern.
