It was a servant’s arrival that finally brought Aswell out of the room.

"Aswell... could it be..."

The party members, who had already returned to the banquet, saw Aswell’s vacant expression and asked him worriedly.

But Aswell could barely shake his head in response, unable to provide a clear answer.

"I apologize, but let’s resume the banquet."

Finally, Kunder returned with Lafiré, making any further actions impossible.

Sensing the heavy atmosphere among the party, Lafiré led them out of the banquet hall.

"Aswell."@@novelbin@@

"...Yeah."

"Tell us clearly. What happened in there?"

Lafiré, who had brushed off all offers from nobles and officials trying to detain them, immediately confronted Aswell as soon as they were back in their quarters.

They needed to know what had happened, so Aswell recounted what had just occurred.

"Louis...?"

In short, Louis had refused to rejoin the party.

"Why? She should at least give us a reason!"

"..."

Aswell wanted to explain it to them.

But he hadn’t received any explanation from her or her master.

It left him feeling helpless, paralyzed by frustration.
