Lucas leaned against the wall adjacent to the break room. He had confirmed with the knights guarding the break room door that there were no other entrances to the room.

'It's taking a long time.'

Being unable to see the target he was guarding right away made him uncomfortable.

'Let's wait for just 30 minutes. Then I have to make sure the Madam is alright.'

A servant approached from a distance and just as he passed by in front of Lucas, he made a gesture that signaled their familiarity with each other. Lucas naturally shifted his position and moved slightly away from the break room.

"Hey. You. Come here."

The servant, who had walked some distance away, heard the call and approached Lucas with reluctant steps. And turning his back to the knights guarding the break room entrance, he stood and said in a quiet voice.

"There are characters that need to be watched cautiously."

Lucas increased his voice as if wanting the knights to hear.

"Go bring me something to drink."

"Count Ramis and Countess Falcon. The message is to inform you that you should watch carefully if either of them approach the Madam."

The break room door opened, and a handmaid came out. The handmaid shared a knowing glance with the knights, then walked in Lucas's direction.

"I asked you to bring it, why do you have so much to say?"

"You cannot drink alcohol here."

It was the scene of a servant who was pressed to follow a difficult demand, and a knight who was forcing him to bring alcohol. Because it was an action reasonable enough for someone as notorious as Lucas, Saeron held no suspicion and simply passed them.

The moment the woman passed in front of him, Lucas's head turned sharply in her direction.

'What the— this smell is...'

It was a familiar but unpleasant smell. Lucas knew a woman with the exact same smell. But that woman's face was not like this. Lucas persistently followed the woman with his eyes until she turned around the corner and disappeared.

"...Who? Younghoon and who?"

"The Countess of Falcon."

"Don't know who that is but anyway, it's a woman."

He straightened up and quickly approached the knights standing guard in front of the break room. Seeing Lucas suddenly approaching them, the knights raised their guard.

There was no time to tussle. After making this judgement, Lucas gathered power in his fists and unhesitatingly slammed them into the abdomen of the two knights.

"Kh!"

Not expecting him to attack without notice, the knights were unable to react at all and toppled over. Lucas hit the back of their neck and knocked them out. He grabbed the unconscious knights by the scruff of their neck and using his chin, he gestured to the man who was dressed as a servant.

"Open the door."

The man's mouth opened a crack before he quickly opened the door. As Lucas entered the room, the man checked to make sure that there was no one around to see them, then he followed inside and shut the door behind them.
