Chapter 351: 347 Attention to Reiger
Deep within the capital of Re·Yestijie Kingdom.
In this location, reminiscent of a military stronghold, stood an immensely vast castle.
The outer perimeter of the castle spanned about 1,400 meters, surrounded by walls and encircled by twenty massive cylindrical towers forming a defensive network that secured the vast land within.
This was Castle Lorenti, the most crucial place in the kingdom.
Within Lorenti Castle were three magnificent palaces, known as Flanxia Palace.
The largest among them was the royal residence, where the royal family of Re·Yestijie Kingdom resided.
The lighting design of this palace was impeccable, not only filled everywhere with "eternal light" magic but also constantly polished to a shiny finish without a speck of dust, to call it the epitome of luxury was no exaggeration.
At this time, Clem was walking along one of the palace’s corridors with Gegran and Iveyer, heading in a specific direction.
They walked briskly, clearly in a hurry.
"This is a disaster," Gegran muttered while they walked, "I didn’t expect we’d waste so much time; our devil of a team leader must be fuming by now."
"It’s my fault," Clem took the blame upon himself, "It was under Lady Aindra’s orders that I summoned the two of you to the palace, and yet I delayed this important matter."
Clem had appeared in the adventurer’s lodge because the leader of "Crimson Rose" asked him to fetch Gegran and Iveyer, who were staying there.
The leader of "Crimson Rose"—Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra—was an old friend of the kingdom’s third princess.
The legendary Priest Warrior, who had entered the Heroic Domain at the age of 19, was not only a top-tier Steel-ranked adventurer but also, in fact, a noblewoman, or more precisely, an heiress from a noble family.
As a result, this well-known leader of "Crimson Rose" would occasionally appear in Lorenti Castle and even be invited by the third princess to Flanxia Palace for old times’ sake.
This time, she had accepted a confidential mission at the invitation of the third princess, thus she borrowed Clem, who was a personal guard of the third princess, to summon her companions Gegran and Iveyer to the palace.
However, due to Brian’s matter, the trio completely delayed the matter, forcing them now to rush to the residence of the third princess.
Clem hence took it upon himself, believing that he had failed to bring them promptly into the palace.
However, this mistake clearly wasn’t his fault.
"It was me who got distracted by Brian Angelos’s matter, and it was me who suggested we go see him, it has nothing to do with you, kid," Gegran slapped Clem’s back and said, "If the princess starts blaming, I’ll tell her it’s not your fault."
"That’s right," Iveyer, no longer as reticent as he had been at Gejiev’s home, as if he had let his guard down, said, "This has nothing to do with you, we wanted to go ourselves; if Lakyus asks about it, we’ll explain it to her."
At this point, Iveyer’s tone suddenly shifted.
"Besides, this isn’t entirely unrelated to our team leader."
This statement left Clem momentarily stunned.
"What does this have to do with Lady Aindra?"
He was somewhat perplexed.
Seeing this, Iveyer hesitated for a moment, then shared something with Clem.
"Actually, our leader had instructed us earlier to keep an eye on Reiger Brillhaut."
That’s what Iveyer said.
"What?"
Clem was stunned again.
"It’s true," Gegran nodded in agreement with Iveyer, confirming it was true, "It’s about a senior member of "Crimson Rose", so when we saw Reiger Brillhaut appear, we couldn’t help but follow to observe the man closely."
Given this, Iveyer then stated that their delayed timing was not entirely unrelated to the "Crimson Rose" leader.
"In any case, you can’t be blamed for this, you don’t have to take all the responsibility upon yourself; we’ll naturally explain it to the leader," Gegran said to Clem.
"Alright then,"
Although Clem still harbored some doubts, he no longer took on the blame for this incident, nodding his head in understanding.
The group then hurried to a room.
Clem immediately stepped forward and politely knocked on the door.
"Lady Lana, I’m back,"
Clem’s voice unconsciously became more respectful as he called out to the inside.
Gegran and Iveyer stood behind Clem, waiting for him to lead the way.
Before long, a clear and pleasant voice came from inside.
"Come in."
The voice, gentle and kind as a wind chime, instantly lifted Clem’s spirits.
"Then, if you’ll excuse us,"
Clem extended his hand and pushed the door open.
The next second, a room that was both luxurious and not overly ostentatious came into everyone’s view.
