Early the next morning, the party quickly had breakfast in awkward silence.
Since they had planned to begin their journey back to the puppeteer's grove today, Cedric openly told everyone he would be staying back.
The rest of the party didn't seem too surprised, as most of them already knew this by now.
Once they were done with breakfast and were ready to leave, they said their goodbyes. Then Cedric approached Leon and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Take care of these guys, okay?"
Leon smiled. "Sure, but uh… who will take care of you."
"Tsk. By the way..." Cedric reached into his inventory and took out a piece of paper, then handed it over. "Look out for this guy."
Leon took it and squinted at the name. "Casimir Adalricus?" He frowned, trying to recall the face that went with the name. "I think I know this guy. If I'm not mistaken, he's a member of Alicia's party."
"He is? Well, look out for him. In fact, look out for every cadet from the Bastion of the Somarian Pride."
