"Oh? You're here~ Welcome back"

That Anti Villain greeted the Hero as he lazily waved his hand towards the other.

In return, Rok Soo hummed in recognition before taking a seat on the opposite side of the younger.

"Aren't you too easy-going?"

Rok Soo wasn't criticizing Cale in any ways. After all, it was obvious that the younger has been busy during his absence. However, he couldn't help his brow from arching as he watched how flushed the younger's face has become.

It was then, Cale's casual reply comes to his hearing.

"Well, I looked confident like this, don't I? Befitting someone who's certain to have his plan successfully through."

Grinning, the younger red-head poured Rok Soo a glass of wine himself which the latter gratefully accepted though he has promised himself to only drink half of a bottle at max this time.

It wouldn't be good if he got an upset stomach.

"And yet he still opted to drink"

Gilbert shakes his head, though at the same time he felt that this behavior is so on brand of the said noble.

"I guess White Star has no reason to think that you'd fail, given that Sayeru and Dorph would tag along."

Whilst Cale humming to answer that, Rok Soo drank the crimson liquid which turned his cheeks pink though not as deep as his counterparts.

"Pfft, yeah. Sayeru suspected me for the chaos at the Eastern Continent. Since the witnesses keep saying that they saw my distinctive hair color under the 'mysterious ravager's robe."

Cale has a coy smile as he touched his bright hair.

"Is that so?"

Rok Soo raised a brow accusingly, to which Cale chuckled about, understanding the silent question, the older is asking.

"They're Ron's people and, well, my spies within the Mercenary Guild"

Rok Soo snorted before then commenting lightly.

"I can't decide whether I should be awed or terrified with your reach"

Cale seems to be content with that praise.

"I mean, I can't get as many strong individuals as you do- Alberu is literally the only royalties I could get to my side."

Since Rosalyn has been stripped of her title as a princess.

"So I thought that encountering such major disadvantage with numbers would do"

And Rok Soo totally approved of that game plan.

"Anyway, Speaking of numbers."

Cale trailed before then reporting in more detail on what he has done in the past days' Rok Soo has been missing.

"-we have located the hidden temple, and the possible place for the altar you mentioned. Although, none of us entered it just yet, since, you know."

The said action would definitely trigger the alarm.

And this report also implies that they can't stop the 'feeding time' either, unfortunately.
