"Sebas, please share the findings you discovered with our guests," instructed Knight Armand to the castle steward, "This is regarding the content you found in that book titled 'Castle Incident Record Book' in the basement."
"Very well, my lord." The steward put down his soup spoon and, smiling, gestured to the guests at the dining table.
Everyone stopped their meal and listened attentively. After all, they had been exchanging veiled jabs for some time, and finally, something substantial was about to be discussed.
The old man was about to speak but suddenly paused. With an apologetic smile, he made a "wait a moment" gesture, picked up his wine glass, took a big gulp of fruit wine, cleared his throat, and took another small sip.
