Chapter 733
Familiar voices drifted through the half-open door.
"Y-Yes! The two honored guests returned just moments ago." The steward stopped short and answered hastily, swallowing before bowing his head. "I informed them that Your Excellency would arrive shortly and asked that they wait, but…"
"They didn’t listen, I assume. Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing new." Ian let out a quiet huff of laughter and kept walking.
"Y-Yes, Your Excellency!" Relief washed over the steward’s face. He fell naturally into step beside Ian. "They also requested that once you arrived, all attendants be dismissed so they could speak freely."
"And that plenty of liquor be brought in?"
"Yes. …How did you know?"
How could I not?
Ian smirked inwardly and gave a slight nod. "You’ve done well. Dismiss the others and get some rest. Make sure you eat, too."
"Yes, Your Excellency. Please enjoy your meal."
