Chapter 128: Grand Banquet Farewell Gathering_2

"Perhaps before departing, he already knew his fate, which is why he chose to bring only thirty men, and insisted you not worry about his marriage," said Merlin. "That is corroboration."

Upon hearing Merlin's words, Kay fell silent as well, as everything seemed to make sense.

"Is there no chance at all?" Kay still asked.

"Is it His Majesty who wants to know, or do you?" Merlin asked in response.

"Both, I suppose."

"I don't know. The abilities of prophecy and divination are limited," Merlin answered Kay honestly. His previous suggestion was more to reassure others.

Hearing this, Kay had no good reason to continue asking. It seemed that the matter would rest here, with no further developments likely.

Atilis might remember, but only in the solitude of the night, reminiscing about the past, his rationality always subdued his emotions.
