"What made you jump to such a conclusion, Your Grace?"
Yeren shrugged. "You can drop the act now, Andon."
Andon smiled faintly. "I like the title. It suits you."
"But if I find out he was killed, the culprit or culprits would be hanged and their heads would be put on spikes at the gates."
Andon tapped the polished surface of the table lightly.
"You need to calm down. Let me handle the matter while you recuperate from your previous problems."
"How do you expect me to focus?"
Andon patted his back. "I don't expect you to. You should distract yourself, do something fun, while I handle everything that's bothering you."
"It's not that easy."
"Nothing is easy for people like you.". Breaking into a grin, he said, "Why don't we have dinner, then go for a swim?"
Yeren made a face. "What are you playing at? I don't have the time to be swimming like a boy still wearing shorts, Andon. The thief won't magically surrender himself to us."
