Ryo and Abel sneaked around from behind to observe one of the four groups monitoring the shop. But as they watched from a distance, Abel tilted his head in confusion. This action, of course, caught Ryo’s attention.

“Abel, what’s wrong? Did you change your mind about ambushing them and forcing them to disclose their objectives? I don’t mind leaving everything to you. I’ll retreat and watch things unfold.”

“Not a snowball’s chance in hell. How many times do I have to tell you? Anyway, the problem is that I recognize one of them.”

“Oooh, what a lucky break for us! What does he do?”

“He’s a member of the Second Royal Guard...”

“The Royal Guard I understand, but there are two of them?”

“Yeah, the Second serves the crown prince. That guy...his name is Emmanuel. I heard a rumor that he was promoted to company commander.”

Incidentally, the source of said rumor was Abel’s friends in the Alliance of Second Sons, Zach Kuhler and Scotty Cobouc, who just so happened to be knights in the Royal Order.

“Wait, if he’s a company commander, then doesn’t that mean he’s only outranked by the regimental commander and battalion commander? That makes him a leader, so he may even become the regional commander himself eventually.”

“You’re not wrong and he’s definitely one of the most successful in my peer group, but that begs the question...why is he surveilling a business?”

“Good point. So he was either demoted or, conversely, that company is so dangerous it warrants direct monitoring by the top brass.”

Both Abel and Ryo pondered the situation, but neither could think of the right answer. It was inevitable considering the lack of information. They both understood this.

“Abel, at this point, I think we should just ask him directly,” Ryo suggested.

“I don’t disagree... But...” Though Abel wasn’t opposed, he did glance at Ryo, who completely misunderstood the look.

“Why are you looking at me like that?! Despite what you may think, I’m not the kind of person to hit someone in the solar plexus with an Icicle Lance or freeze them with an Ice Casket out of the blue!”

“Uh-huh. I seem to have this suuuper vague memory of you doing exactly the latter in the Grand Duchy of Volturino,” Abel remarked pointedly, referencing the incident with the thief.

“W-Well, I didn’t have a choice back then. It was the dead of night and the city was under martial law. What else am I supposed to do when a lone, suspicious man creeps in the street? Besides, he turned out to be the bad guy trying to smuggle the red magic stones out, so in the end, I wasn’t wrong,” Ryo hastily explained.

Abel took his words in stride. “Sure. That time.”

Technically, their current situation was completely different. Even Ryo wouldn’t be dumb enough to arbitrarily unleash ice spears or encase people in ice coffins. Probably.

“Yeah, I don’t think you’re that reckless either. Fine, let’s just do this. Stay behind me, Ryo.”

Abel sneaked forward, almost soundless. Following him, Ryo found himself deeply impressed by his friend’s silent movements.
