Chapter 68 - The Mansion of the Red Mistress  

Brushing off the memories of his fight with Rose, Haruki was off on his way to Moriyana's new base of operation. Following behind him were his three servants, all masked in their disguises while walking beside Fay. After having made it out of the castle, Haruki met up with the convoy adventurers to pay them off personally. There once he was done, Fay asked to accompany him to Moriyana's place since had to collect the mystery item she'd been talking about so far.

"I'm sorry…" She murmured, scratching the back of her head in embarrassment. "I didn't realize you're actually duke Laria, even though everyone kept telling me."

Placing a single step on the carriage, Haruki looked at her with his eyes squinted with frustration. The verbal battle with Rose had left him drained of any patience, and the longer it took him to get to Moriyana the worse his mood was getting.
