Chapter 188
Upon arriving at the banquet hall, Yan couldn’t help but click his tongue at the sight of the numerous nobles who had already gathered.
“So many moths drawn to the flame of power,” he muttered.
Kasa, standing beside him, nodded in agreement. “Indeed, all lured by the promise of influence.”
The memory of the once-glorious Ifrain family cast a cold shadow in his eyes.
As they entered the hall, Yan felt the weight of the nobility’s gaze upon him. Even amidst conversation, their eyes quickly scanned him, assessing.
“It seems Kasa’s words weren’t far from the truth,” Yan thought.
From a distance, a familiar face waved.
“It’s been a while,” greeted the Knight of Scorching Heat, Merriott.
Yan had expected hostility from Merriott, having recently poached a number of his trainees, but instead, he was met with a surprisingly friendly demeanor.
Had he not been reprimanded by the Sun Duke?
Yan smiled and shook hands with Merriott.
