Chapter 75: I hold no grudge against the Medici
When the group of soldiers from the Kingdom of Leon followed the maid, the noises returned to their ears.
And the atmosphere of the tavern hit them hard, as they heard the voices of people in the place that they couldn’t hear before.
"Waitress, another beer. Today is a special day. I’m going to have my first child, and we have to celebrate in style!" shouted an excited man, raising his empty glass.
Another man didn’t miss the opportunity and said, "Congratulations, man! Why don’t you buy the next round?"
The guy, who was already drunk, looked at everyone present and roared at the top of his lungs:
"The next round is on me, in honor of my first son!"
The tavern grew even livelier as everyone congratulated the man, and the waitress bustled about carrying wooden glasses filled with beer.
The infiltrated soldiers from the Kingdom of Lion sighed with relief when they realized they had escaped the illusion and proceeded to the second floor, still following the maid, who had not looked at them once since she had spoken to them.
With their footsteps echoing on the wood and sunlight filtering through the only window in the hallway, they came to a simple wooden door, where they saw the maid opening the door.
Upon entering, they saw a fifteen-year-old boy with long black hair, dressed in a simple but elegant black suit. A mask made of coins covered the lower part of his face, and his black eyes stared at them indifferently.
"Sit down." Kael’s voice came out thick and somewhat distorted. It didn’t sound like the voice of a fifteen-year-old boy at all.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Lion sat down as the door closed behind them, their minds racing, thinking of ways to end the life of the young man standing before them.
