Alberu smiled before continuing to speak.

�That is why, rather than relying on faith or trust, shouldn�t we use something more reliable? What is more reliable than putting your life on the line?�

Alberu was smiling brightly, but the mood in the area was quickly going down.

Alberu was showing everyone that he had access to a priestess of the God of Death as well as the Whale tribe. That meant that everybody here needed to make a Vow of Death.

�Really, you really.�

Someone finally started to speak.

Chief Harol looked toward Alberu and Cale as he continued to speak.

�I think that you really have a lot of interesting people in the Roan Kingdom. Such a fun method of doing things is definitely my style.�

Cale made eye contact with Harol who was smiling brightly.

�Why is he looking at me?�

Just as Cale was having that thought, Harol turned his gaze toward Alberu and continued to speak.

�You are right. Life over trust. I agree with this method.�

�I will first listen to what you have to say before deciding whether or not I will follow this method.�

John spoke after Harol then took a step back. Litana was the only one left to state their opinion, so everyone turned their gazes toward her.

She soon started to speak.

�The three chairs must be for the future Whale Queen-nim, the priestess, and the last one for young master Cale.�

She gave Bin an order.

�Go make a list of all of the warriors and mages here today.�

Her gesture showed that she accepted the conditions of the Vow of Death. Alberu walked into the tent as he started to speak.

�Let us talk about the rest inside.�

After the chaos in the middle of the night, the new group was added to the table.

Cale sat down on his seat and started to think. The meeting was already underway.

�Isn�t it enough for me to just stand behind his highness?� JrNovels.com
