Somnus actually chuckled. "Now that you say it, it does seem possible. Rhitahtyn, what is your connection to the Bebelian?"
"Your Majesty—what a horrible joke!! And not even funny!!" Rhitahtyn shouted.
"…pffft…" Li Shen nearly burst out laughing, and the dignified Nero across the table was chuckling as well.
"Hoho. Lord Nero seems greatly amused. Well then, please wait a moment while I prepare them." Agares smiled faintly as he fixed the cart in place a little away from the table.
Li Shen still remembered clearly, how Agares picked up one of the fruits that was glowing with a deep pink shade and prepared to peel it.
Everything up until that moment, he remembered perfectly.
But right after that, something shifted.
The world suddenly seemed to slow down in his vision. Before Li Shen could even wonder why, his eyes were caught, fixed completely on Agares's hands.
On the knife.
