Nia's words relieved Lyle of some of his anxious waiting, as he stroked her head, gazing at the tranquil night sky over Andrey.
For the past few days, Lyle had been waiting at the Cup of Luxury, and the gathering of the Necromancer Figure Club members had been postponed. He spent the days studying the Spirit Summoning Skill in his own house, and the nights in the club room of the Cup of Luxury. He had even gone to the Bloody Rose Bar once to seek out Beatrice and inquire about Alianna's recent situation, but from Candy the host, he only learned that Lady Rose had not been seen for several days.
Until the day he had agreed to meet with Kevin.
Sitting in the seat at the Cup of Luxury, Lyle watched the remnants of the sunset fade away, his gaze fixed on the balcony behind the window curtains, which was the teleportation location set by Alianna.
She hasn't come back today, has she.
"I should go to Kevin's banquet now, he will surely complain about my lateness."
