There were many things they had to do when they sent Gandalf off to Alandis for a trial, so Darryl did not tag along. When he reached the foot of the hill, he bid goodbye to Madeline and the others.
It was still early when Darryl was back at Alandis, so he did not rush back to his residence but went wandering on the streets.
"Manny Carnival Night?"
A few minutes later, Darryl passed by a tavern and was immediately attracted by its name. The tavern was in a prime location, and it was exquisitely decorated. It was also quite packed, no lesser than the number of guests in Blue Rose's tavern.
'The tavern is a good place to get news. Even though I have help from Blue Rose, I can't just do nothing,' Darryl thought as he entered the tavern.
Darryl asked for a seat by the window and ordered a bottle of wine. He poured some wine for himself as he observed his surroundings, trying to see if he could gather news about Yuri and Bonnie from the guests around him.
Mmm!
As his eyes toured the tavern, a private room on the second floor caught his attention. A man and a woman were sitting in the private room, talking and laughing.
The man looked young, around 25 years old. He was in bright knightly armor, and he was very handsome. His body was filled with powerful saint energy.
The woman was in a flattering long purple dress—she looked very charming and sexy.
Darryl did not know who the guy was, but he was stunned when he saw the woman.
It was Ivy.
'Why is she here? Is that her friend?'
A few seconds later, Darryl snapped back to his senses. He wanted to greet her but decided to hold back.
It was embarrassing enough that he broke into Ivy's room by mistake. He guessed that Ivy might misunderstand the situation and carried a grudge against him.
At that moment, in the private room...
Ivy sat in the elegant room; her delicate face was filled with smiles as she became more reserved.
