Clopeh started to speak.

�How odd. Are you the only one who read it?�

�Yes sir. I remembered you mentioning for us to be discreet, so only I read the note. Isn�t it very odd?�

�It is. Anyway, good job. Let me know if anything else comes up.�

�Yes sir!�

The subordinate bowed before rushing back to the forest. Clopeh watched him leave before throwing the piece of paper toward the fire.

Crackle-

The paper disappeared into the fire.

Clopeh started to whisper quietly, only loud enough for his trusted subordinate next to him to hear.

�Kill him.�

��Yes sir.�

The trusted subordinate understood that this was the last day of that subordinate�s life as he bowed toward Clopeh.

He didn�t know why Clopeh told him to kill the man, but his job was to do as he was told.

Clopeh ignored the look on his trusted subordinate�s face as he looked toward the pillar of fire.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

His heart was beating fast.

�The lake will eventually flow to become a river.�

��How did he know my family�s secret?�

Was this man really the messenger of a god?

Clopeh had believed that he was the one to receive the god�s will. Only the successor of the Sekka Household learned about the truth of the Paerun Kingdom.

He recalled the other piece of paper he had found while tracking down the white-haired priest.

< Only a new legend can be created to continue the glory. >

Clopeh had believed himself to be the main character of that legend.

He looked toward the pillar of fire that seemed to be reaching the sky. The citizens were whispering to each other that it was god�s rage, however, the leaders were suspecting the Empire�s alchemy and looking into it. JrNovels.com
