Chapter 250

“The morning after the somewhat chaotic night!”

Everyone gathered in the hotel lounge the next morning, ready to hear what Ulan, Noa, and Laurea had to say.

Then, Laurea spoke up.

“Um, this is all nice and dandy, but…”

She had her story queued up and was all set to spill the truth. All that was left was to reveal the truth to everyone.

But there was a small hitch.

“…Why am I tied up here again?”

Currently, she was all tied up to a pillar.

To be precise, she was bound by the star chains that Delia had made, along with the spirits called forth by Fertisha that were also keeping her in check.

She couldn’t move around freely at all.

“Hmph! You really don’t know?”

“I have my suspicions, but I didn’t do anything that deserves being tied up, right?”

“Well, to be fair, you did deserve a fair bit of it.”

Delia, who had barged into the conversation, narrowed her eyes.

“Originally, I planned to hang you upside down and smack you around instead of talking.”

Just thinking about yesterday’s events made her blood boil.

Plus, when she had run away from the tavern, her temper had shot up. So honestly, she wanted to grab Laurea by the hair, but that was not an option.

It was because of Ian and the Knight Order.

‘If I resort to violence in this situation…’

It could blow up into a national conflict.

After all, Delia was the Princess of the Arpen Duchy, and Laurea was the Saintess of Eloden. So she desperately held back her emotions and said,

“Consider it lucky that it ended there.”

If Ian and the Knight Order weren’t there, Laurea would probably be in a worse state right now.

As Delia finished her sharp remark, Ivella and Fertisha chimed in.

“We definitely learned a lesson from yesterday.”

“From now on, you are banned from approaching Ulan!”

The two girls were chastising Laurea for her actions.

Seeing them gel together so well, it looked like they had formed some odd alliance due to what happened yesterday.

Just as they were about to continue berating Laurea for her colossal blunder, a voice suddenly cut through the conversation.

“How about we hear the story first?”

“Absolutely. That’s why we all gathered here anyway.”

It was Sven and Ian.

With the two boys urging her on, Laurea was finally freed from the pillar. She then faced everyone and started speaking.

“Ahem! Alright, here it comes.”

About the secrets she had been keeping all along.

With a short cough, her voice echoed as everyone fell into a hush. Moments later, Laurea began to unravel the story she had kept hidden.

The secrets of Ulan and Noa.
