Chapter 171.1
Hesabel had answered decisively, but the actual task of searching for Cedric seemed daunting. The followers of Elil, who donned deep hoods over their heads, did not trust suspicious individuals, especially when the person in question was looking for a respected swordsman and priest known as a Swordmaster.
However, Hesabel was a beauty blessed by the Red Chalice.
Sadly, almost no one suspected the mysterious beauty who appeared in the mist at midnight.
‘After all, Elil preached justice, honor, and courage, but in the end, he was utterly enchanted by a beauty and even had his heart plucked out, didn’t he?’
Though it was a faith renounced, Hesabel felt a strange sense of superiority seeing people completely fall for her charm.
‘But really, to deceive and seduce, it should be big fish, not these small fries. It has to be someone who can deceive the world, like Lord Isaac...’
With these thoughts, Hesabel lured a waitress at a tavern near the harbor. Just by slightly lifting her hood and giving a sly smile, the waitress was quickly charmed. As Isaac himself had proven, an inhuman charisma score could mesmerize people regardless of gender.
And so, Hesabel finally obtained some useful information.
“Cedric, the Swordmaster?”
“Yes. An elder I serve owes him a favor.”
The waitress handed over her hand as Hesabel offered to trim her nails, though it was more about gently massaging her fingers and stroking her nails than actual trimming. The waitress knew it was just a pretext.
“You mean the man who came in with a Saltain ship recently?”
“Eh? Ah, yes, that must be him.”
“Yes. Saltain ships are rare here, so I remember seeing one. He disembarked with a lady.”
Naturally, Hesabel had first sought the sailors who came with the Saltain ship. However, the sailors had left Aldeon immediately after unloading their cargo, as if they had no intention of returning. It was suspicious, but finding Cedric was the priority.
“You recognized Cedric right away? He must be handsome.”
Thud. Cedric sat next to Hesabel, naturally putting his arm around her shoulders.
“A rare friend here. Why might I be looking for you?”
***
Hesabel forced a smile and turned her head.
The man had long hair down to his shoulders, and was unexpectedly handsome for a Swordmaster. She had imagined a muscle-bound madman with fiery eyes obsessed with swordplay, but his appearance was quite normal.
As Hesabel met Cedric’s eyes, the killing intent surrounding her melted away like snow.
Cedric quickly removed his hand from her shoulder.
“Oh, um, ahem. My apologies, miss. I was rude.”
“...”
Hesabel wondered if Cedric was mocking her, but as a follower of the Red Chalice, adept in seduction and deceit, she realized he was genuinely nervous.
Then, her instincts kicked in.
“So, you’re the Swordmaster Cedric I’ve heard so much about.”
“Uh-hmm, recognized immediately. My fame has spread to Wallachia?”
“Of course.”
