Ian Walther

[Ian]

What are you doing here, you punk?

Get out of here now before I call someone to drag you out!

How did you get in here.

Only the people with permission are allowed to be here.

Are you the hero invited to the banquet? The Royal Assembly to be exact.

Nice to meet you. I am Ian Walther.

Although the Walther family doesn't participate in the Royal Assembly, we are attending the banquet as one of the seven royal families.

This is the heir of the Walther family, Isenhonor. He is my nephew.

He will be the head of the family as he attains adulthood this year. As of now, I am in charge of the family business.

[Isenhonor]

How do you do? I am Isenhonor Walther.

[

Why aren't you participating in the Royal Assembly when there is the heir?

I wonder of you know this, the candidate from our family was involved in an unfortunate incident in the previous Royal Assembly.

Isenarm who was the candidate for the throne acted violently all of a sudden. He ended up being killed by the heir of the Geoborg family.

After discussion, our family decided not to take part in the Royal Assembly this time.

......

Well then. I hope you enjoy the banquet. The banquet is held for you after all.

Yes. Thank you for sparing me some time.

Are you enjoying the banquet?

I hope you enjoy the banquet since it is held for you.

[Man from the Richard]

Long time no see, Ian.

Why are you here? I thought we agreed not to see each other ever again after the previous Royal Assembly.

I remember that, but the heir of your family has been busy these days.

He has been digging around so much that the story has reached me.

No one seems to pay much attention, but you never know.

I told Isenhonor to stop investigating about his brother's death.

He should. It would get us both in trouble if the fact that we were going to kill the imperial candidate of the Geoborg family leaks out.

No one knows about it, you know.

The plan was ruined as Isenarm was killed while acting violently.

I am sorry about your heir.

I don't care who becomes the heir as long as he leads the family well.

I don't understand why Isenarm who has behaved so well acted that way though...

He must have sensed something to act like than when he was about to be elected as the king... There is no way to find out now...

Geoborg has been silent as well ever since, I hear.

Yes, the word has it.

Since Isenarm was killed by Geoborg, the Walther family has been excluded from the Royal Assembly this time.

He was a great boy. It is a shame since he was the perfect candidate for the throne.

The important thing is that as long as we both keep silent, the truth will remain unknown forever.

Then, I guess we will never see each other again.

Make sure to warn your heir not to dig around the incident, no more.

If it gets out, my family can deny it.

However, you Ian will be in trouble as the same member of the family since there is no witness or proof left now.

Are you threatening me?

Shh... You'd better keep your voice down. Your heir may hear you.

I mean, we should be careful.

Well, I cannot be absent for so long anyway. Let me head back now.

Argh... How dare...!

I shouldn't have worked with him in the first place. I lost my poor nephew for nothing.
