"Ubaba, big brother?"
Obern's face froze.
Did the Margrave just call him big brother?
"Ababa."
The Margrave's voice was drawn out. It seemed to have gotten thinner too.
His pronunciation had become clumsy and tended to slur at the ends.
The "ababa" babbling especially sounded just like baby talk.
It didn't suit the old, thick-lipped Margrave at all.
Margrave Sareb had clearly undergone a major mental change (whether voluntary or not).
And unfortunately for Obern, the Margrave's physical condition wasn't good either visually.
A large bump had formed where he hit his head when falling, with dried blood.
His face, soaked in alcohol, still had a purple tinge.
Dana and Rahan recognized these symptoms at a glance.
And as trained guards and slaves, they took appropriate action.
They immediately entered the carriage.
Dana kicked Obern away from the Margrave.
