"Gong Payton, what are you hiding?"

Genoa put down the teacup she was holding in her hand and hardened her face coldly.

The teacup on the table was empty in no time.

"I have nothing to hide from you."

The Duke of Peyton also put down the teacup. Inside the rose-patterned teacup rimmed with gold, there was a cup of tea that had cooled down.

The height of the tea was not much different from when the servant first poured it.

"Are you going to tell me to believe those words? Prince Crawford would have run that far to get the jewels."

"I don't know what Duke Crawford was trying to get into our Mount Meter, but I don't know."

Duke Peyton straightened his back and raised his chin.

"On Mount Meter there is only a mine and an altar that has been sacrificing for generations. I swear by Peyton's name."

A single unshakable gaze shot towards Genoa.

Genoa clicked inwardly.

If that was acting, the evaluation of Duke Peyton had to be completely revised so far.

It's a look that completely goes against Peyton's personality, which is straightforward and incapable of making up.

"I must have been sensitive because it had to do with Duke Crawford. Let Peyton investigate the metric acid."

"I'm sorry."

"Please. The safety of the empire depends on you."

"We will do our best."

When Genoa gave a congratulatory order to leave, Duke Peyton rose from his seat and politely prepared himself.

The door closed and the smile that had worn like a mask disappeared from Genoa's face.

"It's fun."

"Sir, may I come in?"

At Dylan's voice, Genoa spoke words of permission.

"Did you have a good conversation with Duke Peyton?"

"Dylan, I think the Duke of Crawford has stopped by Mount Mether."

Dylan's narrow eyes widened in an instant.

He licked his lips a few times, then closed them.

He knew that it was information from the Crown Prince's secret escort organization.

"Learn more about methic acid. Duke Peyton never speaks."

Genoa gave a bitter expression and clicked her tongue.

"I will post a report as soon as possible.

Dylan's eyes sank coldly at the host's uncomfortable feelings.

As the dizziness subsided, the huge stone pillars surrounding the warp gate caught my eye.

'Have you arrived?'

Unlike the Warp Gate in the East, which was surrounded by greenery, the northern part seemed to fit the barren and desolate landscape.

After closing the warp gate for a long time, there were really no buildings or passersby around.

"it's okay?"

Edwin, who has been holding my hand since I departed from the East, asked anxiously.

He nodded saying it was okay, and then his hardened face loosened.
