It could be said that he had managed to leave a favorable impression in front of his future boss.
After all, they might really have to rely on the boss for their livelihood in the future.
As for Elanna... Yarlu certainly believed that Elanna herself had not lied, because for a prisoner, lying was meaningless.
The underlying issues here are worth deep consideration.
Border Lords existed in the Shadow Country back in the day, and precisely because he knew the situation of the Border Lords, he was even more certain that there had to be a power supporting the fiancee of his boss-to-be.
It was just that Knight Elanna seemed oblivious to this fact.
There was no doubt that Lord Kael was a top genius; Yarlu in his many years had only heard of such apex monsters in legends and myths.
But he was even more aware that a genius like Knight Elanna could not possibly be cultivated by a minor Border Lord.
