Chapter 136. Banquet (1)Turning toward the voice, I spotted a petite woman approaching with light steps.
Her small frame and beaming face matched the familiar voice.
“There’s still time before the banquet, but you’re early? It’s great to see you after so long!”
Wearing a sleek black uniform that accentuated her figure, her short hair swayed, revealing a slender neck—a Nemesis knight.
I recalled her name easily.
“Luca.”hing was certain.
She had a duty to watch him.
Someday, she might face his truth head-on. Opening the banquet doors, the Nemesis deputy commander sensed it.
Whatever the outcome.

I scanned the hall.
Gentlemen and ladies in varied attire bustled about. Most adhered to the dress code, but some stood out otherwise.
With nothing to do, sitting at my assigned seat to wait for Sirocco seemed best.
She had her own invitation, so she’d find her seat.
While searching for my spot, a voice rang in my ear.
“Enoch?”
A languid tone. My eyes widened.
A voice I knew well.
“My, is it really Enoch?”
Turning, I saw a woman with a hand to her mouth, speaking lazily, not sounding surprised.
My eyes narrowed.
Perhaps a year or two older than me.
Long hair draped behind, her sleepy, unmotivated tone unmistakable.
She wore a banquet dress, but one strap hung loosely, reflecting her apathy.
She stared at me blankly.
“Lady Ariadne!”
Another woman in a dress rushed over, clearing her throat after spotting me, bowing politely.
“Ahem! Enoch Elsyde, apologies. As her follower family, I apologize for any rudeness. This is Lady Ariadne Elsyde.”
Finishing, she introduced the languid woman.
“Current seventh rank, direct descendant.”
“No need to say that. He already knows, right?”
Ariadne waved lightly, turning her eyes to me.
“It’s been a while, Enoch.”
Her eyes gleamed as she added softly.
“Since you were thirteen, I believe?”
