"SON, where are you going when you've just returned home?"
Diether stopped in his tracks when his mother called him. "I'm sorry, Mother, but I cannot join you for dinner tonight. His Majesty has sent me to run an errand for him."
He couldn't say that it was a mission.
After all, it was his own will to find and catch the Master of the Forgotten Tower.
Hence, when his mother caught him getting out of his bedroom, he couldn't help but make an excuse about the king sending him out on an errand.
[Oh, His Majesty told me not to kill that bastard. But that depends on whether he's useful or not. If I find out that he doesn't have a clue as to where Celeste has gone to, then I might as well get rid of him for good.]
"Are you out to kill someone, son?"
"Huh?"
"It's the look in your eyes," his mother said, scowling. "It looks like you want to kill someone. Your bloodlust is also oozing."
"Oh."
