Daniel had no option but to smile sheepishly and scratch his nose as he heard this statement from his most loyal mander.
His plan with the Road through Hell had always been that he would reveal later on that he was the one who had subjected them to all of that, so that they could break through. However, Daneel felt those words get stuck in his throat while the image of what Cassandra had just talked about appeared in his mind - he shivered and instinctively covered his crotch with one hand as that happened, while the Grand Court Mage burst out laughing.
Kellor was really relieved as he had seen that Cassandra seemed to be back to normal. His main fear had been that she might be the same as before even after waking up - mute, and unable to municate in any way. Thankfully, that hadn't happened, and when Cassandra turned to look at him with an expression of puzzlement on her face as she wondered why he was laughing when she was telling them about something so serious, his laughter only increased in volume.
Calming himself down after a few moments, he couldn't help but say, "I typically don't like crass jokes, but I must say that if you do go ahead, toasting Royal balls will definitely be an achievement that you'll be able to tell even your children about."
R-Royal balls?
The confusion that Cassandra was feeling only increased as she heard this, making her turn to the King.
She remembered clearly each and every moment up until she had felt her parents fade away while hugging her, and after that, it was all blank. She did recall a vague feeling of burning up, but after that, she had woken up here feeling very tired.
Even now, she was famished, but she had uttered that statement as she really believed that finding the culprit and the place where she had been held was really important.
Soon, it began to get irritating, as she was genuinely worried about Aran who might also be trapped there.
She had always been known for her fiery temper, and as it began to flare up, it allowed her a moment of clarity to think back to the statement made by Kellor.
Royal balls?
Connecting that with the sheepish expression on the King's face… A supposition entered her mind.
"My king… Are you the one responsible for it?
