Back then the Noble Voldermont had just walked out of his room when He saw Prince Riana was having a serious talk with Prince Sera in front of Prince Riana's room. To the nobleman of Voldermont's surprise.
The face of Prince Sera at that time looked tired and filled with a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Before long, Prince Sera walked away towards the Nobles of Voldermont who stood silently watching them. Prince Riana looked at Prince Sera's back. Didn't say anything. There is something Prince Riana is thinking about.
When Prince Sera was near the Nobles of Voldermont. He immediately greeted the Noble Voldermont calmly. "Are you going to stay by Yuki's side, and protect her like you've been doing all this time"
The nobleman Voldermont reflexively said without hesitation. "Of course"
Prince Sera smiled then patted the noble Voldermont on the shoulder. Satisfied with the answer he received. "That's great. You have to keep your word in return"
"What's the reward ?" The nobleman asked Voldermont back with a face that did not understand.
"The reward for letting you continue to be with Yuki in the future" Prince Sera replied meaningfully. He did not stop walking and continued to pass through the Nobles of Voldermont. Prince Sera's back was upright, walking confidently without looking back.
The noble Voldermont looked at Prince Sera who had finally disappeared at the end of the passage. Then he walked quickly over to Prince Riana with a curious face.
"What are you talking about, is there something going on ?" Noble Voldermont asked Prince Riana directly.
"Nothing" Prince Riana replied as she walked inside her room. The nobleman Voldermont directly followed him behind to dig up information.
"Is there really no ?. You know he's been looking weird lately" lured Noble Voldermont again.
Prince Riana had already heard of this matter from the soldiers whom she had assigned to secretly guard Yuki. These few days something has happened to Yuki and Sera's relationship. Don't know what. But Sera's attitude makes Yuki anxious and worried about her.
"He made a bet with me personally" Prince Riana finally replied.
"Bet ?" Voldermont did not believe what he heard. "What does He want to make the bet ?"
"wedding"
Prince Riana put Prince Sera's wedding ring on the table. Look at that thing deeply while thinking.
It was not only Yuki who felt Sera's change. Even Riana felt Sera was planning something. But what is it ?.
There was no way Sera would hand Yuki over just like that. Argueda is not in danger either. Then why is all Sera's attitude like trying to provide a lot of protection for Yuki from the threat of danger.
"Did I not hear wrong ?. He's gone mad to risk his marriage" said Nobility Voldermont as he sat on the sofa in front of Prince Riana's desk.
The noble Voldermont instantly recalled when He found Yuki crying alone while holding Nara in a hidden corner of the garden. From where he could see down where Prince Sera with his troops were heading towards the battle line.
"Prince Sera has been very strange lately. I don't know why, but he's so different than usual. As if it wasn't Prince Sera I knew" Yuki whispered sobbing as the noble Voldermont approached her to ask about Yuki's situation. Yuki rubbed her teary eyes. He refrained from crying.
"That's just your feeling. This battle makes a great pressure for everyone involved" comforted Count Voldermont. To be honest at that time, he had not felt the strangeness as Yuki had said. It was precisely Nobility Voldermont felt that Yuki was the strange one.
Not Sera.
Makes the Nobles of Voldermont worry about him.
Yuki silently heard the explanation of Nobles Voldermont. Then he looked at Nara who was in his cradle. "Lord Voldermont, I know that I must not ask you this. But I beg of you. If in the battle later I don't survive. Take care of Prince Sera and Nara for me" Yuki said with a pleading look.
"From Sera, you're actually the weirdest Yuki" reproved the Voldermont nobility as dislikeful. "Why should I look after your son and husband. They are not my duty. You protect them yourself" said Noble Voldermont again.
"I'm just on guard..."
"And I don't want to talk about this topic anymore. It's up to you to think for yourself how to survive and live for your family"
The nobleman Voldermont pulled the wine bottle placed by his side and immediately drank it in annoyance to ease the emotions that were conspiring in the heart. Recalling how Yuki and Sera asked him to keep his partner made him angry.
If you think again, at that time both Sera and Yuki had prepared for his death respectively. And ruthlessly asked the Nobility of Voldermont to look after his partner.
He doesn't think it out. Is Yuki and Sera considering him as a babysitter so ask him to take care of the other person's partner.
"I thought you were here" The Duke of Voldermont turned and found the Xasfir nobleman approaching. Unwelcomely the Xasfir Nobles directly grabbed a bottle of wine near the sealed Voldermont Nobles and opened it with teeth.
The face of the Xasfir Nobles looked tired.
The nobleman Voldermont waited until the Xasfir nobleman finished drinking his wine. Then He said in a flat voice "How is it today ?"
"not good. I'll take it down as one of the worst days I've ever had in my life" replied Noble Xasfir as he wiped his mouth from the remaining wine clinging to it. "Argueda refused all the offers and favors We gave, They closed themselves off from Garduete. Even I heard King Jafar directly ordered to bring Yuki to Argueda after hearing of the problems that occurred. It is likely that Yuki will be taken to Argueda to receive a royal court for Sera's death"
"The royal court ?. It wasn't Yuki who asked Sera to replace him" Nobles Voldermont said riled up.
"But Argueda doesn't think like you Vold. I tried to negotiate with Argueda's side but failed."
"Riana won't let Yuki be taken to Argueda"
"If Riana insists, we have to face another battle. To be honest we're not all ready for another battle"
"Nobody is ready for a battle" countered Duke Voldermont decisively.
The Xasfir nobleman fell silent for a moment then he turned around and said softly. "You're right..so have you seen Lekky's situation ?" Asked Nobles Xasfir to change the subject.
"Yes...That bastard was seriously injured. But the Holy Priestess was not too worried. Lekky won't die that easily"
"It's amazing that he survived the explosion" Nobles Xasfir said in disbelief.
The nobleman Voldermont fell silent and thought. Lekky has that much power is not an easy thing to get. The only possibility that Nobles Voldermont could think of was that Lekky had drunk Yuki's blood before.
Did Yuki deliberately give her blood or something else ?.
The noble Voldermont decided to ask Yuki one day.
"What is Riana's plan to face Argueda ?"
The sound of a gong being hit was quite loud. Everyone immediately stopped talking and turned to look towards the gate. Argueda's royal retinue, carrying a stretcher containing a chest with the body of Prince Sera bathed and consecrated, walked into the holy temple.
