Chapter 214: Solia (1) The Discussion in The Redania Capital’s Inn
Lyan’s thoughts swirled as he pondered the events unfolding around him. With a furrowed brow, he gazed out of the window, his mind filled with concerns about the Duke’s ominous intentions.
(But I’m still concerned with what happened in the city before. That Duke... His goal is plainly obvious...) Lyan’s thoughts echoed with a note of apprehension.
Despite his unease, Lyan had taken precautions, dispatching shadow servants and acid ant soldiers throughout the city to act as surveillance. He had chosen strategic locations for the shadow servants, mindful of their larger size and the potential for discovery by the city guards.
"The thing left is to prepare for the martial tournament, find more information about the condition inside the capital, and make a decision about whether I would stay here or not, I guess..." Lyan mused aloud, his voice trailing off as he took a sip of the hot milk he held in his hand.
Just as he contemplated delving into Lilith’s world of memories for the night, a sharp knock echoed through the room, jolting him from his thoughts.
Knock! Knock!
’Are you there, Lyan?’ Solia’s voice called out from the other side of the door, breaking the silence.
After Lyan’s explanation about the opportunity for the tournament, the rest of the girls are told to train vigorously in order to face the tournament and get some benefits from it, while Wilhelmina and Solia are tasked to find more information about the tournament or even some tricks to survive longer at the tournament.
(But she seems to be alone here, I guess?) (Lyan)
"Come in," (Lyan)
As the door creaked open, Lyan’s gaze fell upon Solia, the chestnut-haired archer, as she entered the room with a hint of nervousness in her demeanor. Yet, it was not her demeanor that immediately caught Lyan’s attention, but rather the bottle of wine she held in her hands.
