The Warlord's Carnal System

Chapter 106: Something’s Off

"Well, now that you have a clear head, we were hoping you could give us some answers," Ilya said, looking at me with that calm, analytical expression.They must be thinking I had a clear head because I’d just woken up.

Jokes on them! Haha... hah...

Okay, I should recognize this was actually a predicament. But those familiar faces were tricking my mind, rendering me unable to think of this as the serious situation it was.

"Tch. Look at him. He doesn’t even bow before Her Grace," Kael said, clearly annoyed at my casual expression.

"Pfft." A voice came from the adjacent cell.

It was Betty.

Kael’s attention immediately shifted to that cell, while the Duchess still casually petted the beast before me. She looked like a kid playing with a cat at this moment. And these guys wanted me to act serious?

"Oh right, she’s here..." Kael said, sounding even more annoyed.

At this point, I’d already forgotten what Kael looked like when she wasn’t annoyed.

"Seems like that oddball is giving you guys a tough time," Betty said, her smirk practically audible through the wall.

Wonderful, Betty. Just what I needed. Get them spiteful and make them feed me to the beast for la snack. Very helpful.

"None of your business. Just await your execution, you traitor," Kael snapped with genuine anger.

It was easy for Kael to get annoyed, but very difficult to make her actually angry. I knew that sounded odd, but I was still trying to figure it out myself. For Kael to get this angry... Betty must’ve done some serious shit.

"Enough. Deal with the task at hand," Cass finally spoke.

She stopped petting the beast. Mendy immediately coiled itself around Cass’s leg, rubbing against her like an oversized house cat.herworld."

What!? That sounded ridiculous. What was she even saying?

[Don’t you feel like something is wrong here, Rune?]

’....What do you mean?’

[Why is Kael speaking up for someone who she has met just yesterday? Why is Mendy, despite being a beast of fire attribute, didnot incinerate you yet? and Rune... have you ever heard Cass mentioning the name of her spies? Much less speak like you know sho she is?]

’..Yeah, how does she know I knew who Selka is?..’

’Wait... no way..’
