Chapter 59: Wisdomous Astrid

"Please don't take Mr. Evans' words to heart, my child. He is only kidding with you, getting a chance which he doesn't get much despite his age and experience. Pity that his humor only works when it comes to unfunny couple jokes. " said Arne, looking mockingly at Hadrian with a calm face.

"You did not have to defend him(offend me) like that. And also, 'my child'? Really? Tch. Shall we start our conversation inside then, Aorist?" said Hadrian.

"No. I do not wish to rest and converse. My apologies. Lord Hades has arranged a banquet where he would like to converse with several people including you all here and Mr. Helge as well as the boy under suspicion. It will be a friendly banquet. Only if you all honor us with your presence." said Aorist with his head nodded, hand on chest.

Inside, Erland was pensive, being on guard. "(An invitation to a banquet of Hades himself?...) Woah..." But on the outside, he looked like an amused child after getting a present.
