"Noel!" Anna called Noel from a distance while waving her hand. Noel turned out to be working among the people, supervising the place where they could build the second stage storage.
Noel stopped for a moment and turned around, finding Anna and Evan approaching him. Despite Evan's calm expression, his walking speed was faster than normal, indicating that he was eager to know about the runes.
Anna seemed to have done her job of luring him.
Noel gestured to the person next to him to take care of the job while he met these two.
"Welcome to my city, Duke Lorelei." Noel smiled.
"It's truly a surprising city. I guess you have managed to accomplish your first objective, eh? To think that Earl Ardagan has surpassed his father." Evan made a forced smile, showing that he was slightly annoyed that he actually fell for Noel's plan.
"Hahaha. Let's leave it at that." Noel didn't explicitly acknowledge it, so Evan didn't lose his face. He asked, "So, what does Duke Lorelei want with me?"
