A few minutes had gone by, and Ethan was completely at a loss.
Unlike Wesley, who could have a wit exchange with Leonard without losing his ground at all, Ethan found himself falling deeper and deeper.
With each sentence and inquiry made by Leonard, the harder he found himself being cornered.
In the end, Ethan finally had enough and relented.
"Very well. If Sir insists on heading out despite multiple warnings, then I can only stand aside." He said with much difficulty, his eyes trailing to Caroline.
Noticing his gaze, Caroline smiled slightly. "I've long grown bored with the banquet. This type of atmosphere and setting doesn't suit me."
"Hah, then do you need any guards to escort you?" Ethan was helpless and suggested she bring some of the guards alongside. She was very valuable and nothing could happen to her.
However, he also couldn't be forceful and make her accept the guards.
