Chapter 31: Are You Truly My Son? (1)
Jacques, Keter’s personal butler, joined him for lunch once again, just like the day before, with an exhausted look in his eyes. As Keter enjoyed his meal leisurely, he glanced at Jacques.
“Did someone die? Why the long face?”
“How are you able to eat right now, my lord?”
“It’s freshly baked and soft, so it’s really good.”
“Ugh! Soft or not, I heard you fought with Mr. Ultima. That's just a rumor, right? Surely even you wouldn't have done something like that.”
“Of course, it's a rumor. We didn't fight. I just beat him up one-sidedly.”
“...Do you even know who Ultima is? Is that why you're acting this calm?”
“He’s a mere commoner merchant.”
Keter kept eating without pause, even during the conversation. Unable to stand it any longer, Jacques snatched the roasted chicken leg Keter was about to eat.
“Please stop eating for a moment and realize how serious this situation is...?”
“Thanks for deboning it.”
