The Palanquin banquet was held once every year in the Seren palace by the crown prince of Oregano, it used to be organized by the emperor in the past but for the past few years, Lionel took the responsibility in his hand.All the nobles from various places attended the banquet this year just like every other year, in the vast banquet hall people were seen talking, some were enjoying the music. While some women were busy chatting among themselves, some were also eyeing the handsome men who attended the banquet. "Cr-Crypto, is it really ok for me to attend the banquet? You know people will talk about you, I don't want you to be in a difficult position because of me..."Interrupting his wife who stood hand in hand on his side, Crypto assured her while looking at her with such loving eyes. "It's alright, so don't worry. You are my wife, you can go where I can go. So, now calm down. No need to think so much.""But, I...""Shhh! Keep calm, you need to trust me. Now, let's go." Crypto put h

[Congratulations! Host, you have completed 42 no. mission.][No. Of missions left: 7]On completing his mission, Idris always felt happy but today, he didn't feel anything like that. Even he didn't have any happy feelings that he was proven to be Adrek's son.'I have been waiting for this moment for such a long time that I should be content but... I wanted to see Adrek Beaufort get defeated, that he would accept me though he doesn't want to buy strangely, I don't feel happy at all nor do I feel sad... What is this strange feeling in my chest that's bothering me constantly? It's like... I got pushed far away from my goal.'"Duke Adrek, since it's proven that Idris is your son what do you plan on doing?" Lionel questioned in a tough time of voice."Right, since Idris is his real son he needs to accept him as his heir since he is the elder one. Now, he no longer can avoid Idris and run away from his responsibility. Such a cunning man! I never thought a loyal and respectful man like him c

Paul, the head butler of the Beaufort Residency. There was another butler who was appointed as a sub-head, he only took over when Paul was not available. Though the other butler walked on back and forth for Crypto, Paul was a cunning man. In times, he could easily switch group without caring for anyone. For him, what mattered was only money. * In the dining hall *On one side of Adrek was seated Crypto and his wife, Yumila while on the other side was seated Idris and Adrek as the family head was seated in the middle.Idris skipped a glare at the empty chair put close to Adrek, since he came here he looked forward to whom it was put for.'I have heard that Crypto's mother doesn't like to stay in the palace much so it shouldn't be for her. Someone else should be sitting on that chair but there's no rumour about Duke Adrek getting involved in any extramarital affair... '"Sorry to keep you all waiting." A woman around forty years old walked to the dining table, she smooched Adrek on his

All of a sudden, the dining room became dead silent. Adrek stared at Crypto for a brief moment before taking a bite again as if nothing had happened."That... That happened because of a reason." Crypto uttered, his voice slightly trembling."Reason? Please enlighten me, brother." Idris looked so serious that Crypto felt a little nervous."I... It's..."Interrupting him, Elena chuckled to clear up the tension in the atmosphere. "Idris, maybe your servants didn't tell you because they were afraid that they made the mistakes first. Actually, your servants tried to cross the limit, they are mere servants but they dare think of themselves as the owner. That's why they got beaten up as the punishment.""Yes, my mother is right. Your servants are so uneducated, you should thank my people. They help you teach them a good lesson." Crypto added, laughing."I see..." Drinking a sip in the cold water, Idris muttered in his cold tone.Elena chuckled again and this time, more relaxingly. "Yes, Idri

"Young master, you seem to be in a good mood today." Pouring the coffee into the cup placed on the table, Paul asserted so as he saw Crypto laughing while he was alone.Crypto picked up the cup casually while still laughing and he added, "Yes, I am so happy today. I feel so refreshed and energetic...""Ahh, that's so good to see you like this.""Yeah, to defeat your opponent and see them at the edge of the cliff is so satisfying. Isn't it?" Crypto added, in a proud mood."Your opponent... Oh, you mean... Mr. Idris?""Of course, or else who can it be? It's so fun to harass him, when I have his maids get punished severally... Ahh, I can't tell how happy it made me. I can't imagine how sad that b*stard would look when he would know that his maids got beaten up by my maids... It would be a waste to not see his facial expressions when he finds out about...""Young master, young master..." Suddenly one of his guards ran to him while panicking, he looked so terrified as if he saw his death i
