Westheid and Yolanda had traveled the road from their residence to the Holy Tree Palace countless times, so they entered the court with practiced ease.
They proceeded to the appointed location, a corner on the outskirts of the Holy Tree Palace. There, a few Yonglan Knights were chatting with a group of court nobles, seemingly bragging about their experiences in the Secret Realm Trial.
This was perfectly normal. For Yonglan Knights, who loved to show off their martial prowess, a day without bragging about their heroic deeds was an unbearable itch—worse than going a day without beating their meat.
As Westheid drew closer, he heard Rafati's voice.
"Fun fact: Duke Qinghui is a fan of Lord Uther."
The surrounding crowd was stunned. "What? Is that true?"
"That can't be right. Duke Qinghui is the Imperial's [Branch of Prosperity]. He's completely unrelated to the Country of Yonglan, so how could he be a fan of a Yonglan Grand Knight?"
