In response to his frightening expression, Hagen exaggeratedly yawned and got up from his seat.

“Ah, I’m tired. Shall we go to bed now?”

“Should we? We’re going hunting early tomorrow. I’m already halfway asleep.”

Raphael also quickly agreed and stretched.

Kite, as if resigned to the two’s playfulness, let out a forced laughter and said, “It’s been a long day, so let’s leave Mitchell alone for a while and everyone go rest well. Ruela, what time should we depart tomorrow?”

Ruela opened the game screen to check the time.

It was already past midnight. Since they had been running breathlessly, it seemed better to sleep in, rest well, and then leave tomorrow.

“How about having lunch and then leaving?”

“Is that okay? It’s not good to lag behind the others too much.”

Ruela smiled reassuringly at Kite’s concern.

“It’s okay. Let’s consider tomorrow morning as a time for recharging. Kite also has a lot of work piled up. Right now, aren’t you trying to check the documents you couldn’t review with Mitchell?”

As if knowing, Kite’s eyes slightly widened, then he quickly drew a gentle curve.

“The newly appointed aides will come tomorrow. Today, I’ll just organize the tasks assigned to them and sleep well. Don’t worry.”

Interrupting the two’s affectionate atmosphere, Hagen interjected with a smirk.

“Alright, heard that? We’ll go up and sleep. Leave everything to these two intellectuals who are diligent in everything…”

Mitchell cut off Hagen’s words.

“Hagen should stay too. Forgetting that this is originally your job would be troublesome. Isn’t that right, Kite?”

A mischievous smile appeared on Kite’s lips.

“Right. This is Hagen’s job. We’re just helping, so it’s better for the person involved to stay and supervise.”

“Huh? Why does my ear suddenly feel stuffy? I must have had a strange thought because I’m too tired. Oh. My head, my back…”

Pretending not to hear, Hagen tried to leave. Raphael quickly pushed Tien and Ruela towards the door.

“Come on, we’re going to sleep. See you all tomorrow.”

As they went outside, Raphael turned around and saw Hagen, who was trying to come out with them, being dragged by Kite towards the desk.

Raphael quickly closed the office door and advised Ruela.

“We were wrong today, so let’s go catch up. It’s better to wake up early tomorrow morning and help with the cleanup rather than having such faces right now.”

“Is there anything I can help with?”

“If you have the intention, there’s nothing you can’t do. Don’t worry, as long as you have the will. Oh, how about taking over the position of housekeeper that I’m in charge of?”

Seeing that Raphael seemed to be vaguely trying to delegate work at this opportunity, Ruela gently smiled and declined.

“I’ll pass.”

“Miss, wake up. Valder Guildmaster is causing a commotion.”

Shuna shook Ruela’s shoulders, waking her up.
Ruela, who had fallen into a deep sleep without dreaming in the soft blanket, woke up in a daze and mumbled.

“Who?”

“Guildmaster Valder.”

“Valder?”

Because of that, she couldn’t immediately recognize who he was. For a moment, Ruela, who was trying to figure out where she was and who Valder was, quickly sat up.

“Valder is here? And causing a disturbance?”

“Yes. He’s making a fuss, saying he must meet the lady right away, causing a confrontation with the guards.”

“That disgusting guy. He must have come right after hearing the news that I attended the party yesterday. I really dislike him.”

Even though she sent a letter explaining why she visited, it seems it was not enough. Since they provided a pretext here, she was determined not to give up until they met face to face and settled things.

Ruela quickly got up, washed briefly, and changed into a lavender-colored casual outfit she had.

She didn’t want to face Valder, almost to the extent of wanting to hide her face with a veil.

“Tie it with a red ribbon, a red ribbon. I want to express that I’m not in a good mood, even if just a little.”

Feeling a slight rebellious spirit, she wanted to express that her current mood was not good.

“Is red color a sign of not feeling well?”

“Yeah. It seems to be the color that best represents my mood. When I’m in a good mood, I’ll use blue.”

Whether she understood her feelings or not, Shuna tied Ruela’s pink hair up high in a combative manner.

With only calmly flowing hair until now, tying it back tightly enough to lift the corners of her eyes seemed to give off a certain energy.

“Thanks, Shuna. Oh, on a day like today, I have to meet Valder with a pink diamond ring on my finger.”

“Pink diamond? Is there such a thing?”

Again, a surprised reaction to the mention of a pink diamond. She thought it was strange yesterday, but seeing even Shuna react this way made her feel uneasy.

“Aren’t there pink diamonds here?”

“Yes. All diamonds are white, right?”

“No yellow or blue fancy-colored diamonds?”

In response to Ruela’s question, Shuna nodded.

“I’ve never heard of them. But since the lady is the first to gather noble ladies, I might not know. So, it could be possible.”
