The Lord Pride chuckled as he looked at the shameless old Hexuno, inwardly mocking his arrogance. Without that crucial seal, Wayne wouldn't even have a path to exert his power. By rounding up the circumstances, it was essentially his doing that led to Hexuno's downfall.
By the same logic, Kiraal's fall was also his accomplishment.
The Lord Pride glanced at Kiraal, sniffed the air, and covered his nose with a disdainful expression: "Such an awful stench. May I ask if Your Grace is the Archangel of Temperance, Kiraal?"
Kiraal's expression remained calm. His situation was complicated—long explanations were wasteful, and short ones wouldn't suffice. There was no need to elaborate here.
To put it briefly, his self-imposed sleep was for investigating the Lord Pride hidden in Lundan. To avoid exposure, he repeatedly tolerated Kel's shenanigans in the Fallen Angel Bar.
Kel was himself, yet he was not Kel. Kel's lack of temperance ≠ Kiraal's lack of temperance.
