Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1139

After dinner, Rafael and Carissa cornered Kyle and dragged him into the study, one on each side, leaving him no chance to escape. He was pushed into a chair without ceremony.

"This is undignified-utterly undignified!" Kyle complained, his tone reeking of scholarly pretension now that he was a teacher. "Stop all this pushing and shoving."

Despite his protests, he was soon seated, pinned down by the eager, curious gazes of his junior guild members.

He sighed and grumbled, "If you have questions, just ask them already."

Rafael spoke first, "First question: We've noticed Isaac has been spending a lot of time around Silverstone Estate lately. Is this because Sage Adrian or Sage Everett has given him an assignment? Is it something to do with Marshal Prince?" Carissa asked more seriously, "Second question: I noticed that Isaac was looking at Vivi strangely tonight, and he's not opposing her anymore. It's a bit unusual. Do you know what's going on?"

As usual, Kyle knew when to speak and when to hold back. It was fine to hide Isaac's background from others, but it wasn't necessary to keep it from the two people in front of him now.

Adrian had told Kyle about Isaac's past a long time ago and suggested he occasionally give some advice. Life could be long or short; one never knew what might happen tomorrow. Some things should not be held on to too tightly.
