The sword was already at their necks; no wonder the dwarves treated everyone with such caution.
"Kael, how was the ball today? You enjoyed it, didn't you?"
Mr. Luxius, accompanied by the Bartlett Monarch, approached, and while Kael had yet to turn around, he flashed a meaningful smile at his student, Lily, and said:
"It seems our Lily is very happy today."
"Teacher!"
Just as Lily cried out somewhat angrily, Mr. Luxius instantly switched to a cold and authoritative expression, and said to Kael:
"In two days, we'll set out back to the Bell Federation. I will represent the Federation to negotiate separately with the Orean Independent Kingdom. You needn't worry about this matter, Kael.
But if you decide to go out, remember that you must bring the Sword Maniac with you. He is your greatest protection for your life. And Lily, if you really can't resist going out, you must also follow your junior.
