Chapter 152
Although Seong had already suspected Helena was playing a joke, there was still a slight chance it wasn't the case.
He remained seated, keeping a little distance between himself and the lord, Paragon Gridri. The subtle unease in Paragon’s expression didn’t go unnoticed.
‘Is this for real?’
Nevertheless, as Seong and Helena observed Paragon Gridri with wary eyes, the lord grew restless, wondering if he had made a mistake.
For a brief moment, he felt anxious—what if they refused the request?
After a moment of hesitation, Paragon finally spoke.
"Ahem, the reason I’ve called you here today is because of the request I mentioned previously."
"Ah!? A request, you say?!"
"Yes, yes."
It was a request, after all. What else would bring him here?
Seong glanced at Paragon Gridri, who immediately realized his lapse in manners and cleared his throat, apologizing.
