    Ah....their expressions.......seem to tell me...that my words........were a key to something......


    Of course I was acting just so they don''t suspect me of knowing who that guy was.


    Can it, Veles? I thought. "Hmm.....not like it can''t but.......your not stupid enough to help these devils, are you? Isn''t it better for us, just to let them die on their own?"

    Hah.....nothing''s changed, I guess. I thought, turning my head away.

    Shut up. I''m only doing this for the sake of my life, get it?


    The discovery of cranberry wine in my palace''s basement led to finding a covert warehouse behind a fake wall, revealing an impressive collection owned by a true aficionado. I instructed Myla and Mylo to remain undercover on the day I got an invitation to the Royal Family Dinner. Leading to communication with the wine merchant through midnight letters. The merchant revealed himself at the temple, prompting me to visit Leena''s workplace. Fearing the wine would be stolen or reported after the banquet in my honor, I convinced Leena to store it at the Lobis Mansion instead of the Palace, which took three days of persuasion. I plan to use the wine to elevate Lord Heron''s status and launch his fine wine enterprise, setting the stage for our High Society alliance.
