As the White Robed Staff stood puzzled on the city wall, Richard sat in his mansion's parlor, looking at Soron, who had come for yet another visit, with a rather complicated expression.
Why say again?
Because since the battle of Kasha City ended, it's been ten days, and this was Soron's fourth visit.
The first visit was barely about discussing matters, which was understandable.
The second visit was a bit odd, claiming to check on his illness.
Check on his illness? As if!
Richard was sure Soron wasn't foolish and knew his claiming to feel unwell was just an excuse. Since the other party accepted it, they should have a tacit understanding not to expose it.
However, Soron truly came to check on his illness.
Having no choice, Richard had to cooperate, feigning weakness, conversing briefly, and seeing Soron off.
A few days after seeing him off, Soron visited for the third time.
