Duke Albert simply laughed in response to Pedro's joke. At this moment, they had nothing much to talk about anymore. Thus, Pedro decided to leave and use that time to check the Minor Auction Area and see if he would be able to see some 'hidden treasures' instead.
This, in turn, would allow Duke Albert to take care of the things that he needed to do—including things like handling matters about the death of Duke Kleon. After all, Duke Kleon was still one of the highest-ranking officials, following the Royal Family and their advisors.
Fortunately, Pedro did not need to take care of that mess. Else, things might have been more complicated and several more people might have perished. Well… If Duke Albert would betray him of some sort, Pedro could just simply smash the Auction Den into rubbles. So, Pedro had nothing much to worry about, especially that Ragas and Clara were currently on his side.
