Ronald had never left.
Although he was not the type to kill someone's entire family just because he was schemed against, still, being tricked by Lelaye in this manner was quite unsettling.
As for the current situation—
Seeing Lelaye's expression just now, the other party should soon use the translation of the "Silver Key" to open the previous 'lock';
As for Ronald, he felt very relieved that Costate was staying in the inn; there was nothing particularly worrisome around.
"Um?"
"Sir, please stop!"
It was right inside the ruling council, Ronald saw a gardener pruning the garden.
He called out to the gardener, knocked him out, then hid him in a concealed corner nearby to make sure that the cold weather wouldn't cause the gardener any harm; Ronald even draped his own coat over the man.
"This coat, consider it a gift for Lelaye then?"
The whole process took less than twenty seconds.
